There has been more reds around in the past week in Anna Maria Island and Tampa Bay. Redfish are some of the hardest fighting fish that we hook into during our inshore fishing charters. They are hard fighters and are great eating as well. The season is closed on redfish right now so we have been practicing catch and release on these fish. The fish are starting to school and that is when we can catch double digit amounts of fish in one day. Look for the fish on high tide close to the mangroves and around the oyster bars and on the edges of shallow flats and deeper docks during low tide. Cut bait has been working well during the heat of the day this time of year.
