Rod & Barrel - redfish week

For years we fished for redfish with either a Johnson gold spoon or a bucktail wiggle jig and did very well with those two lures but with the advent of plastic jerk baits I have switched completely over and almost never use a jig and rarely a gold spoon when I am fishing the flats for reds. Plastic baits are so much better in a variety of ways. For one, plastic baits land much softer than a spoon or jig does so there is less of a chance of spooking a redfish in shallow water. Plastic baits can be worked on the surface creating a surface disturbance that a redfish can easily detect and focus on and the bait can be allowed to sink if need be. Best of all jerk baits are weedless and can be worked through heavy grass and weed as well as through mangrove roots and over oyster bars. Use 4/0 or 5/0 Owner wide gap plus black chrome hook.

Rod&Barrel Redfish Week

The first redfish I ever caught was in Flamingo - a small hamlet at the southern most tip of Florida in the Everglades National Park. I was fishing with the late Mike Morehouse who fished out of a flats rigged Jon Boat that drew only about 4-inches of water. Mike was well versed in the fishing in and around Flamingo. He introduced me to Flamingo in the best way possible on a clear and calm day.  He took me up into a small bay called Santini Bite. There we ran into a school of redfish swimming along the shoreline. I cast a gold Johnson Spoon a little past the school and dragged in amongst them where one fish lifted up from the pack and ate my lure. I have had a love affair with this fish ever since.  I am and will be ever grateful to Mike for making that experience happen.
