Just wanted to bring this pic back to the top... great cans huh...lol

You sure that's not a Pink Snapper?

Is this the same chick as the "Too hot to handle" thread?

Andy, where was this picture taken?

I have been fishing the Indian River, Mosquito Lagoon area most of my life. About 7yrs ago my son and I were fishing in the Indian River when I hooked into the biggest Red Fish I have ever caught. It took off running toward Haulover Canal ( that connects the Indian River to Mosquito Lagoon ). My son ran the boat wile I fought the fish. It took almost an hour to land it. I don't know how much it weighed, but it was 54 inches long. I have caught a lot of red fish, but that was the biggest. Here there is a slot size between 18 and 27 inches to keep. Most of the reds you catch in the Mosquito Lagoon are to big to keep. The bigger ones are not as good to eat anyway.

Every October we have a " Hunt for Red's In October " fishing tournament.

I was wondering about your picture. Between Titusville and Cocoa is Port St. John, and there is a power plant on the Indian River there. Is this the area of your picture?

Anyway, great picture... fish not bad either.

Suntraveler.......I seem to recall that I lifted this picture from the FL Sportsman website.

I grew up in Melbourne (well.....Eau Gallie), fished the river for YEARS.

I was there in April last year and my buddy caught a big red like the one you caught.

Do you live near the Indian River still?

I lived in Eau Gallie in 73 & 74 - best cane pole fishing off Canova Beach (spelling) - drums were the best, not uncommon to have a string of 25 fish - used sand fleas for bait. Best fishing in my life.

Cane Pole - 25 lb mono - wire hooks all for under $5 bucks.

Why cant I find someone like that to fish with?

I mean, the guys I fish with are cute, but not that cute.

Andy, I live about 1/4 mile from the Indian River in Titusville. I spend most of my time at the river, beach, or golf course. I was born & raised here and I know a lot of the commercial fishermen. The fishing is nothing like it used to be, but I guess that's the way it is in a lot of places now.

JIDO1960, I surf fish at the beach a lot using sand fleas. That's the best bait for Pompano.

What other flaavors are there
