Thread: Late August Slot Reds

It's almost time for slot reds, 16" to 26" to move in. Here's a picture from two years ago, typical of what was going on in late August two years ago:

I aint attempting to filet any more big bulls, chainsaw would have been better lol

Caught a bunch 2 years ago on the Octi. jigging a Cordell Spoon and alot were caught on Little LY's. Sure will miss that bite again this year.

I participated in one of those chew-downs. I mean a real deal chewdown, damn near the whole end of the Octi was bowed up on slot reds. People were netting them 2-3 at a time. I think I had a limit of reds before probably 8am. I caught all mine on a Gotcha jigging it on the bottom.

A bona-fide chewdown is a thing of beauty! And it's the stuff great memories are made of! Yeah -- I remember when jigged Gotchas were tearing up the slot reds. One day they were doing that just south of the bathrooms (where the nub is now). And we're talking GOOD slots in the 24-26 inch category. Good times!
