    Reds are so much fun to catch on light tackle. My buddy and I got into a school of snook in the intercostal in Florida one time. We were throwing gold spoons on 3 lb. test line and for about 35 minutes it was just “cast and catch”, lol. The redfish were running with them and I caught at least 3 that were in the 8 pound range. It wasn’t snook season so we released everything we caught but it was big time fun.

    Is that water brackish, or fresh? Such a beautiful area. How about the place you were swimming in the last video? It didn’t look as muddy as I expected it would be, when your boy was pickin bug’s around the cypress. I think cypress only does fresh water, which makes those fresh water muscles? Did you know Roosevelt almost released hippos in the Louisiana bayou for food ? You may like another channel I follow from a fellow backwoods Franko, Billy rioux adventurer. Good stuff!
