Tampa Bay redfish action is some of the best to be found anywhere, and because redfish can be caught in any season, no matter when you book your trip, the odds are good you can tangle with the redfish. Redfish are a schooling species, and Tampa Bay Redfish often pack up in schools of 100 to 500 fish. When distracted by feeding,, they can be approached easily and that's good for fly anglers who are looking to get within easy casting distance. We sometimes wade for Tampa Bay redfish, and all types of techniques are used to fool them, from plugs, spoons and jigs on spinning or casting gear, to live shrimp, sardines and small pinfish either free-lined or fished under floats. Redfish also readily respond to chum, so on those days they are being finicky, we draw them to us by dribbling a little chum up current of the school and let their noses do the rest.
