Finally caught my first keeper red on a fly! Put up one heck of a fight in about a foot of water. Tide was moving out and there were mullet everywhere. Caught him blind casting an area where I was seeing wakes and other signs of game fish. The fly was one I tied myself (previous blert) and he inhaled it all the way to his crushers. Great experience and I'm officially hooked!
