Alright i am ate up with redfish fever and want the best advice on catching reds in the marsh and back lakes what are some tips and tactics on reds?i have been in alligator slough one time with no success and i want to give it another try and also might hit up saltlake and nicks lake and any other back lakes in the area.

I drift the grass and keep an eye for the pods busting bait...once I see one I will either use the trolling motor to get a little closer then get out and walk up on them. I much prefer drifting as I get to cover more ground as opposed to getting out of the boat blind...

You should book a trip with Steve Soule or either Thomas or Kaylin Barlow. You will learn a lot about catching redfish in the marsh from any of them.

Yes they fish that area. As far as going on your boat to get tracks set. Well you would need to discuss that with them.

Have you ever heard of anyone in the area doing that

Many guides will do it on occasion. I know Steve has done it before. Just going to have to be something you work out with them.

Sounds good I will have to get in touch with him this summer and see what we come up with

Thomas Barlow ended my 3 year redfish drought easily. Wish I'd done it sooner!


Curmudgeon only pawn in game of life.

Yeah , I know Steve Soule' and he would be highly recommended . He's known as THE SWALLOWIST . He's on the site . Look him up and find threads started by him. He has some marsh redfish trips with photos .

Call Randall Groves and work something out with him. He knows the area as good or better than anyone....
