The redfish bite south of the Sunshine Skyway continues to heat up. Look for fat
slot size redfish on St Petersburg and Sarasota's grass flats. Set up on the
incomming tide along redfish highways and Dead stick chunks of cut ladyfish or
mackerel for best results. During high tide conditions, work mangrove shorelines
and oyster bars.
If Live bait is your thing, the Sunshine Skyway is holding nice white bait on the south
end pier. A blacked-out live well and a few chum bats full of live greenies may be all
it takes to kick off a redfish feeding frenzy!
However, if live bait does not do the trick, artificals are always an option. Artificals
cover alot of real estate and are a very effective tool when locating redfish. Often, an
angler will hook a few redfish on artificals (in one specific area) and the bite will
turn off. Okay, you located the redfish, but they quit chewing, what now? switch it up,
sling some live chummers. If the redfish begin to feed, keep them there by continuing to
chum and begin fishing by free-lining live bait! This how banner redfish days begin!
So, next time "switch it up" and hopefully it will work for you!
