Sunday 10/14 SightCasting to big Reds in Carribean Clear Water!
This morning I had Randy and his father Bob on and we attempted to get on those White Water Redfish but the Swell was rather big and after covering 9 miles of beach we only found one school of fish. We moved into the backwaters for a short while to let the tide rise up on the beach and the sun warm everything up before attempting it again... about 11:00am we hit the surf again and within 2-3min.'s we were staring at 500 to 1000 Redfish in Gin Clear Water.... You would swear you were in the carribean for the incredible clarity. We boated 10 redfish in about 20 min. using jigheads tipped with Gulp as well as Topwater Baits. Great time Guys! Be sure to try this down your way... ps... folks, please be careful if attempting to do this kind of fishing... you should always have one person at the wheel as waves will come up by surprise and swamp or flip your vessel. I watched one anxious angler trying to fish the same school of fish we were fishing.... they got too close to the beach... and they took a massive wave over the bow with 100 or more gallons on deck. If a second wave had come behind it... the day would've been over for them and they would've had a heck of a towing bill as this would probably be considered a total loss situation...
Be safe,
