big redfish

With Spring Break here, I finally have the chance to really go out and fish. The canals in Satellite are producing very good fish right now. The juvenile tarpon, some slot snook (but mostly mid 20s), big trout, and especially nice redfish are all very active. I am using soft plastics, live shrimp, and finger mullet.

Soft plastics seem to be better moving slowly. If you are using mullet, slowing them down with a split shot or other light weight increased the bite this week. With the weather continuing to stay warm for the rest of the week, hopefully the bite will stay good and maybe get even better. Attached is a picture of the fatest 23” redfish I’ve ever caught.
