No wading today. We started the day fishing in 110 feet of water and finished "shallow" in about 60 feet. The waters off the coast of Port Mansfield served up plentiful and varied action throughout the day. Red snapper were the main attraction, but we also caught king mackerel, triggerfish, Spanish mackerel, grouper and a big African pompano and had encounters with ling (cobia) and barracudas. The highlight for me came in the afternoon, when I set down the heavy gear and picked up a medium-action All Star Inshore rod matched with an Abu Garcia Revo Inshore reel and used it to wrestle several hefty red snapper out of 60 feet. Tomorrow I'm wading and expecting to catch redfish and trout on Badonk-A-Donks.
