Redfish University Report-Sept. 12-13, 2012
Here we go again... the "copy"/paste techniques are again in full display and will get more comical as the Winter nears. In addition to RU clients, seminar attendees, web video viewers, TV watchers and anglers of all ages, we are now teaching local charter fishers... some for many years.:) I'm so pleased we could help. Not sure what to say... let's just go to the reports.
Fishing every morning with some really steady trips on Wednesday and today, even if the winds and conditions slightly limited our areas of operation. Redfish University is the only guiding service on the Gulf Coast that is strictly artificial baits, the only that uses artificials for speckled trout/redfish/flounder/pompano with success and consistently produces big numbers everyday. We've been launching on protected banks, or as protected as possible from a direct east wind at 15-20mph. If we can get to my productive areas, we will catch fish and this is why I'm in a 2012 Pathfinder 2300 HPS. I can't say enough about the Pathfinder 2300 or the whole Maverick Boat Company product line for that matter. My Pathfinder is truly the best bay boat made… period, end of statement.
Let's get to the fishing. Both mornings, we started with Sebile Stickshadds to stick numerous speckled trout in the 2-4# range including a few medium redfish in the mix. As the morning went on, we switched to a great technique to fish a little deeper water and sand ledges. The drop-shot rig really works wonders around timid fish in off-color water. The insertion of a plastic worm rattle in the Gulp! baits also draws more strikes. A few other top-secret techniques won't be offered(for some reasons stated above), you'll just have to visit Redfish U. to learn how to triple your catch of redfish and speckled trout. And no… we never use livebait!! Thanks, E Holstman
