Summertime Redfish Tactics

Summertime provides anglers with great opportunities to catch redfish. Generally redfish are a lot easier to catch on the extreme high and low tides around the new and full moons. The high tides push redfish into the mangroves, and the lower tides will pull them out onto the flats to feed. Learning how to adjust your angling techniques to match the tides will greatly increase your ability to find and catch more fish.

SPEAKIN ENGLIS: JULY 2013

I think it was 8 years ago now that I found my passion for fishing to be a little bit overboard.

Modify Hard Baits for Big Fish

Most hard baits have two or three treble hooks. The problem with this setup is large fish and lengthy fights can cause those tiny hooks to open up or tear from a fish’s lip. We all know this loss hurts. The bigger the fish, the worse it hurts and the more likely it is to happen. I came up with a solution for this scenario several years ago while targeting giant tarpon. I adapted my hard baits to use a single large hook. It resulted in the successful landing of more big fish than with the original hardware.
