Saturday Redfish Report

Some friends of mine who fished the Indian River this past Saturday did quite well on the Redfish.

Craig and Mary and made a morning trip to Titusville this past Saturday with their canoe and managed a couple of nice slot redfish for their efforts.

They were fishing live shrimp under corks and paddle tail baits.

He told me that they put their canoe in at the Praxair launch in Mims and paddled around the area looking for sign of fish. Other than some mullet, they didn't spot any fish but in the afternoon they both did better than most of the bank fishermen I talk to.

Mary caught her 26" redfish on a Kitech Swim Bait and Craig picked up a sea trout and a red on a live shrimp under a popping cork.

With the wind coming out of the Northwest all day, I'm surprised they did as well as they did.

Craig said they spotted some boats fishing cut baits but he didn't report any catching, just fishing.

I used to fish that area on a somewhat regular basis a couple of years ago with a good bit of success and I may start fishing it again when I get back into town.

Regardless, with the colder weather right around the corner, the fishing should improve quite a bit.

Till next time,
Tight Lines.

the 2nd. We stopped at the tackle shop to get a couple dozen shrimp and local knowledge from the owner.
