Labor Day Weekend Redfish Report

Post by wadefisher616 »

Sunday I ended up getting a late start and launched at 6pm to fish the evening low tide for some redfish. I almost didn’t go because there was a big storm brewing a few miles away. There was no wind or lightning and just a light drizzle so I decided to go for it. I went to a few different spots and covered about a mile or so of water without seeing anything. Finally I saw a tail pop up about 50 yards away. I head over to the area and there ended up being multiple fish tailing in a small pod. I made a quick cast and hooked up instantly. This was a repeating pattern for the rest of the evening as there were multiple schools and I ended up landing 10 reds to 32â€
Camera I use: Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ20
