Redfish like to school over shallow grass flats feeding on shrimp crabs and mullet as well as other bait species They eat most anything so use all types of bait including soft lures. They can reach about 50 lbs, however the average is about 6 pounds.
Using spinning gear with light tackle is a tried-and-true way to battle Redfish. It’s perfect for novice and experienced anglers alike, but don’t forget about fly fishing, too. This technique is beloved along the banks of the river, as many world-record-sized species have been hooked “on the fly.”
