Simple solution For Firing Up A Slow Redfish Bite
Having a hard time getting the Redfish to take the bait? No matter what you tried, nothing would work. Changing lures, and speed of the retrieve would never turn the fish on. You can see them, but no bite. So try this. Cut up some of the Pogeys and Menhaden from your live bait well and start throwing it towards the nearby grass. Within minutes the Redfish became active and the bite cranks up Be sure to throw what amounts to a couple of hands full chum in about 3-4 feet of water to keep the Reds in a more limited target area. If that’s not enough, Try a simple “split shot”rig with his remaining live bait on a 3/0 hook to float over the chum area to create a realistic presentation to the before shy Reds. Perfecto!!!!! The same tactic also works with Speckled Trout and Flounder. It’s a great way to turn the bite on and return to a great fishing day.
