My buddy and I booked a last minute trip (day before) for half day with "The Hook Up" and Capt Rudy Gray. We caught 1 Red Drum in last 5 minutes of our 5 hour trip. That 1 fish was caught 5 minutes from the marina. We started the day with the plan of in the shallows and catch some puppy drum and as sun comes up go fish...
