Redfish

While in Florida, I managed to sneak a half day of fishing on the flats in. Finally I got my shot at saltwater fish. I was chasing redfish on the nearby flats of Captiva Island. The trip started off as expected; a lot of wind, and long casts. This was not as big as a challenge as one would expect, especially after casting a 10 wt, 400 grain sinking line, a 16 inch fly, and a lot of wind fishing for muskie. The day started off slow, but picked up a little later on and when it picked up it was some serious fishing. At the end of the trip I came to the conclusion that not many fish fight like a redfish on the flats. Enjoy!
