Just finished off another fantastic 8 days at Red Door. I’ve met the new owner a few times, and he seems to be invested in the resort and is making some nice improvements. I think this was our 4th trip to Red Door this year.
Fishing was good, considering it was early August. Spinners and crawlers were by far the hot ticket, with most fish being found well off any structure. The evening bobber bite was “ok”. Most fish would come in a flurry between 730-830 and then die down. Swimbaits were also doing well early and late.
The pike fishing was the only disappointment. I trolled spoons and super shad raps East to Castaways and west to Myr Mar without even a snake. Same time last year the pike were going nuts along the first break line/weed line. Deep side, shallow side…didn’t matter. Oh well.
Great trip to wrap up my summer.
