That I could still catch Redfish.
Got on the water just about daybreak, found a few Reds tailing and chasing bait in the shallow marsh. By 0830 the Redfish were still there, they just stopped feeding. All I did was spook them as they were just sitting on the bottom.
Forgot, Redfish were caught on the fly rod.

Re: Had to prove to myself .........
Very nice. Glad at least a couple cooperated. Chasing redfish up shallow fly rod in hand is high on my list of fun activities. Fall is my favorite redfish chasing time so we are getting close. It’s still so bloody hot here that it takes some of the fun out of it. I went out yesterday about 9:30 ( probably why it was so dang hot) to find some redfish to fling fluff at and saw a total of 3. Spooked one, lost another and got a small one to hand. I saw way more sheepshead and brought one of those to hand, but I’d still rather have the run and pull of a healthy slot red.
