10-21-2011--Had a father son team today. They have joined me for the father's half day birthday trip the last two years. This month he was 81 years young. He managed to catch a grand slam with several extra black drum. The morning started slow. We moved six times before getting keeper fish about 11 A M. We had to leave with the bite going fairly strong although the fish were all on the small side, about 2-3 inches over the minimum size requi8rements except the flounder which was a nice size fish.
I had two calls from customers yesterday asking about the red tide. I told them there was none in any of the places I've been fishing. Later another guide at the cleaning station told me he ran into to two spots of red tide north of Mesquite bay. I called the one customer that I could remember and related to him that there might be some red tide in the general area. Today I noticed the water in mesquite bay was a putrid color but had no red tide smell. I only observed one dying fish that looked like a mullett. Anyone wanting to know more about the red tide status can access TPW's reports at:
