Jon Brett of http://fishbuzz.tv and I got out for a quick morning trip on his skiff this morning in Lower Tampa Bay. We found large schools of redfish tailing early and Jon was able to connect to two over slot fish on the fly rod. I was not so lucky, breaking off one and pulling the hook on another before the fish stopped tailing.
With the tide still coming in and the fish not showing themselves anymore we made a quick move and got back on fish quickly. Using the MirrOdine I landed two reds to 26″ and a handful of trout up to 23″. Jon landed a few smaller reds as well on CAL shad tails before we called it a day around 11.
This time of year is as good as it gets for sight fishing to redfish. I cater to fly anglers as well as spin, so how ever you want to target them.. we can get after ‘em!
