I had scheduled a day to go Spanish fishing with my friend Adam and one of his friends. He ultimately had something happen and was unable to go so Scott and I ventured out. We left the dock at about 7:00 o’clock. We decided to just immediately go to Red 62, we have just not heard of many people catching anything east of the shipping channel. Also, we had pretty good success at 62 a few weeks ago.
Well the decision to go deep turned out to be a great decision. We put in about 500 yards West of 62 but pretty much as soon as we got there the screen was full of bait. It did not take long before we started pulling them in.
We switched lure color various times during the day so I can’t say anything did not produce but I think without a doubt a simple plain silver 00 spoon likely caught the most. We had two on number 1 planner and two on number 2 planner with the number 2 doing more of the catching. Here is how I fish for Spanish.
The water was great all day, it was likely 1.5 to 2+ in the morning but laid down during the morning into the afternoon. The water was very clear on the east side of the cha but was a strange rusty color on the west side of the channel.
We caught a bunch and we had one really nice one, this one was just shy of a citation.
