A real cool guy from NY told me to if I put a mullet head on the bottom,the odds were good for a bull red.The head wasn't on the bottom for more than 5 minutes before this monster tried to take it to Cuba...

Damn, Bob, I could've been 3 for 3 on that call - I figured mullet or maybe even a big select live shrimp meant for a big snook
The whole Indian River area is da place for big hog reds - if you get back, also try bait in that backwater that runs out through the inlet, same set-up as our breachways...
Big snook around there too but if the water isn't eat least 70, you'll never see 'em
Check out Florida Sportsman magazine - it's pretty good and covers the whole state spot by spot and it'll give you a leg up next time with more info
