This nice 27" redfish was caught underneath the North Venice Bridge just
before I caught the nice snook (sent pic before this one by e-mail) on a
DOA # 369 terroreyz jigging the bottom. 2/3 of a slam wasn't too bad on
an other wise slow night. Fish were caught and released at 2:30
am! in the morning. Had a marathon night of snook fishing or famed snook
alley in Venice and the ICW bridges - 8 hours total! Had a lot of fun!
Tight Lines, Ken Taylor
