It’s redfish time!

Do you want to learn how to sight fish for redfish in shallow water?

This is one of my favorite types of ways to target redfish because it’s such a rush to find them, pitch a lure perfectly to them, watch them eat it, then peel off drag.

But in order to do that, you need to do several things right, including find them, toss the right lure at them, and pitch it perfectly to get them to eat.

In this video, you’re going to learn exactly how to do each of those things so that you can catch more redfish in shallow water.

Have any questions about catching reds in the shallows?

  1. Any tips for snot grass? I’ve found some reds and caught a few but the bait presentation has to be much slower than in the warmer months and this, along with the snot grass bloom, has made bait presentation really frustrating.
    Thanks for the great video.

  2. in other words… save money and get live bait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and have artificial lures for backup, and look at the thousand$ of ca$h spent… on specific artificialism and get live bait! artificials are for advertisements, sponsors and people that don’t have real jobs selling you lures that they video clipped best catches…. when an artificial accidently got hooked by. oops soorryy, 10% of this video has good info….. all i am sayin is, how many different sponsors can you fit on that table?!!!

  3. sometimes i think i’m blind and deaf when i’m out looking for reds…i never seem to see them or hear them. just dumb luck when i catch fish…

  4. For me it comes down to location and lure weight. For location, I have success near oyster beds in small marsh creeks off larger rivers or creeks. Lure weight is critical too. I usually use jigheads with paddletails. You need a jighead that is heavy enough to cast and not get swept away by wind/current but light enough that it gives the fish a chance to strike as it sinks.

  5. Great advice….I’ve also found through my video data, the shadows of the line on the cast will spook them, so I try now to cast way further away from them than I used to, if I can see them of course…they really are wary when they are that shallow, it’s unreal…

  6. Hey bro, this is a beautfluy shot video, well put together! Great shots on the fish. we’re going to have to step up our drone game!

  7. I have two boats that can be used for red fishing. I would like to put a sighting platform
    On one of them. One boat is a 18 ft fish master
    The other is a wide custom built boat with sponsons on the stern. How do I choose the best boat for the tower?

  8. I use pretty much all of those lures lol. I usually use the 5 inch gulp jerk baits but reds don’t seem to hit them for me. I switched up to my gulp shrimp and cleaned house.

    Two tips with gulp shrimp. You can’t retrieve them to slow. I use a very, very slow crawl with the occasional twitch. Two, the pinfish and such might peck away at them but you can keep fishing with a damaged shrimp. Personally, I suspect the pins attacking my shrimp actually draws reds in to check out the commotion.

  9. Any tips for fish that you can’t see? Personally I’ve never had the opportunity to be able to sight fish, the water is just too murky and my marshes typically have a little steeper banks, even on low tide it’ll be a few feet deep.

    We’ve been thoroughly confused

  10. Great information, but please…breath!! Got some anxiety just listening to your one-sentence video.
    Other than that, VERY useful tips I will incorporate.

  11. Wyatt is brilliant!!! He is, without a doubt, SaltStrong’s greatest asset! I would only join SS again given the chance to fish with this man in Merritt Island, Fl.
