![]() ![]() How to catch redfish on the fly with no visibility: The 3 fundamentals. A redfish loves a nice "plop" sound. Quite often he'll swim around and try to find the source of the sound. Plus, as long as it didn't land right on it's face or tail, that fish heard that fly hit the water. The way they meander around when feeding on spartina flats, your fish could end up swimming directly at your fly if you leave it alone for a second. If your cast doesn't land exactly where you want it to, be patient. 4. Make a bad cast and rip the line right back up to cast again. Remember, any fish feeding in extremely shallow water is super sensitive to anything swimming above its head. This comes from a youth spent dodging herons, egrets, ospreys, and various other birds of prey. If you put that fly right there, he'll blow out before the fly even hits the water. Yeah, that doesn't mean drop the fly ON his face. Remember I said to lock your eyes 2 feet in front of the fish's face? ![]() Why would you try to catch the fish with the middle part of your fly line anyway? 3. Hit the fish right between the eyes. The fly is way out there on the end of your leader. If your fly line goes over the back of a redfish that was previously feeding happily, you can pretty much count on him taking off like a torpedo. Figure out which direction it's swimming and lock your eyes on a spot about 2 feet ahead of where its head is pointing. Take a look at the fish it's most likely between 24 and 30 inches long. Just a quick heads up – they eat with the other end. If you cast at the part you see, I'll bet the house you won't get a bite. The tail is the part you see, so that's the part that dudes end up casting to. Here are 5 things you're going to mess up on and some ways to be prepared in advance so you won't chuck your rod in the water out of frustration. Well guess what? You're going to screw it up and it's going to make you go nuts. The tides will be getting right to cast to fish looking for crunchy snacks in the spartina flats. He later on had a chance to sit with Joe at a fly fishing show and talk about the videos.It's getting to be tailing redfish season.
