Launched at Sweetwater marina and headed to the graveyard to see if i could start the day with a red or 2.  Caught a red on a gold Aqua-dream spoon at the first island.  Found a major pass and started throwing a vudu under a cork, and caught a red and a trout.  Went south towards bayou gentilly and found another island that was hiding a redfish in it.  Headed into the wind looking for areas I had never fished before, but found some moving water, and threw a Seein spots along the bank, another red.  Made a move, but couldn't find any more fish for a while.  Made it to little lake, anchored in the spot that Nick and I had caught fish at before, landing another 3 rat reds, all on vudu under a cork.  Started making my way out of little lake, back into explore mode.  Found a cut that was maybe 8 inches deep, and opened into a large lake.  I started throwing a vudu under a cork at what i thought was gar.  My cork would keep going under, but I couldn't seem to set the hook.  After about 5 times, I notice the vudu shrimp had no hook.  I switched over to a chartreuse matrix shad under a cork, and caught a 27' red.  Having suspected that was the gar, I threw out again in a close by area, landing another red.  From here I stay anchored and catch another 7-10 reds in one spot.  As the spot dies down, I make my move to patrol the shoreline, catching another 7-10.
