Chris_in_Louisiana 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2022 Hey guys, Thought I'd share a few photos from my first marsh trip of 2022. These trips have become a bit of a tradition as the redfish can be on absolute fire if I time the tide and weather correctly. That proved to be the case two and a half out of four days on this trip as I landed ~40 reds on day 1. And combined with my cousin for 90-100 reds before the weather went south. Other highlights include a flounder on the fly for both of us, a sheepshead I sadly lost and the large trout (20+") my cousin caught on spinning gear from the side of the road (fly rods weren't even rigged yet). More pics and the full story are at the blog link below: https://fatfingeredflytyer.com/january-redfish-2022-edition/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skeet3t 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2022 Good trip! I caught a redfish in Tampa Bay years ago. Delicious. Used to get stuffed flounder when we lived in North Carolina. Nothing like going from saltwater to the table. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My old Maverick couldn't get close to where you're fishing... That's real skinny water... Believe it or not, that was after the tide had risen for half the day. We were belly crawling kayaks through the muck to get out there at dawn. Well worth it though when the fish are biting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Steve. Hoping I can learn to repeat the process with more regularity. They're considered unicorns in local "slam" fishing tournaments, so figuring them out on the fly would put me a step ahead of the local spin fishing crowd.
