The redfish bite this summer was so/so. I didn't get a chance to get down in October when the big bulls come in, but my buddy's son got a 42 inch fish about a month ago.
42 inch would be about max for the flats we fished. I thought mine was about three feet long, but the Captain said not that big. We've been thinking, for years, of going down to Ocracoke and fishing the big bulls in November. I would prefer to go early in Nov., but the only plan we have is to go over Thanksgiving, once my son's in college & has that time. Have to look into this more closely. Word I've got is that Oct. is really the month. I guess blues will be hitting that late for sure, but going all the way down there, we'll want something special.
