Tips, Ties And Tactics Redfish: Schooling Everwhere But In The Chokoloskee
Posted by fliesandfinssouth on Monday, April 28 @ 12:28:50 PDT

Redfish have a tendency to school up in big numbers. For whatever reason, safety, spawning, company, the schools that call the gulf coast home, have created popular fisheries around them. So popular that there are a couple of pro fishing tours exploiting these schools of fish. Whether you are looking for fish in Charlotte Harbor, Louisiana, Flamingo, etc., your chances of bumping into a big school is pretty good.

But for some reason, from naples, south to the shark river, redfish seem more spread out and not schooled up. Is there something geographically different about tis area than the others? There has been a large decline of sea grass south of Estero, and the bottom is made up mostly of mud, sand, and oysters. Did the grass die because of too much freshwater coming off the Everglades? I'd like to understand. If anyone has any information or theories, I'd like to hear them.
