Haulover Canal redfish are usually cooperating this time of the year and some of our readers have been taking advantage of the bite.
Craig and Mary are subscribers to this site and occasionally send in pics of their catch.
Craig recently commented that Mary caught a 42", 31 pound redfish the weekend of Jan 13th. just north of Haulover Canal. They were in their canoe and the fish dragged them over 100 yards before it could be landed.
Hi,
this is Craig and Mary. Saw your last blog, kind of small compared to
what we have been catching :) Mary caught at 42 inch, 31 lb red fish
this weekend a little further north of Haulover canal. We were in the
canoe and we were dragged over 100 yards! - See more at:

The pic above is obviously NOT the fish but it was apparently also caught in Haulover.
Craig didn't mention what bait he used but from past experience, shrimp, cut baits, fresh blue crab pieces and live mullet all work well this time of the year.
Big black drum are also hitting at the mouth of the Mosquito Lagoon.
My wife and I planned on fishing this afternoon, but the windy conditions and work around the house screwed up our plans.
Maybe tomorrow if the wind dies down.
Till next time, Tight Lines.

Hi John. That was a nice red i caught that day. Not near as nice as Mary's 42 incher.
We throw swim baits most of the time as they are rigged weedless. Mary caught her monster on a Bitters Naked Swimmer.
I went last Thursday before the fron blew in and hammered the reds on a Gander 5" Magic Swimmer rigged weedless. 5 reds between 28 & 32 Inches. And had a giant trout on for a couple runs on a Sammy. Best fishing has been after lunch once the water warms up.
Appreciate the report. I haven't been able to get out over the weekend but managed to hit the fishing pier last evening to check out the shrimping. Not too great.
Report to follow.
