Unclefish, don�t get me wrong � I have the highest regard for the redfish � they have become very popular since banning commercial fishing and protected by the efforts of the GCCC.

In the 50�s they were mostly caught on trot-lines along the causeway between Aransas Pass and P.A. � baited with strips of red cloth � I�m older, but not wiser than the rest of you guys... :p

I have fished for them from Chandeleur Sound in Louisiana, accessable by float plane, and every bay and estuary between there and Port Isabel at South Padre.

My money�s on the stripers and HSB for sport and endurance - depending upon the time of year... \:D
