Backwater Redfsih

Big Bull Redfish are up on the flats in Tampa Bay. To target these fish, try a 1/8 Mission Fishin Jighead and a live select shrimp. The secret is the manner in which you hook the shrimp. Take the first digit of the tail off (basically the fan) and run your hook up, through the tail and out the center of the body. This does not kill the shrimp. It will lay on its back when casted out and its little legs will keep moving. Think Redfish and how their mouths are structured... Another trick is casting off to the sides of the school. If you are fishing with more than one person, this is a great way to box them in and avoid spooking the whole school on the hook-up. Tight lines!
