Someone help me with Redfish

[dogonenuts]

Will be fishing out of Icky tomorrow with my son. When fishing in the creek mouths for reds should I be fishing the edges or in the channel, say during the falling tide in the am?

Help much appreciated. Have done well with trout but mystified by the reds.

The rising tide should be better, however you have to fish what ever tide you got. Creek mouths is where I'd fish. Don't spend a lot of time in any 1 creek mouth, fish them all. Chunk spoons and spinnerbaits and jigs in/at every hole, point, oyster bar, rock, eddy current etc. and move on. Don't fish slow or too fast, just use a normal retrive depending on the bait. Keep quartering and sniffing, you'll find them.

Also you may want to try oyster bars near shore or near creek mouths. My favorite way is fishing topwater early or late on either side of a moving tide. There's nothing quiet like seeing a 30incher exploding a topwater plug. GOOD LUCK!

I agree, topwater early fancasting every creek mouth you can fish. Points, holes, bars, rocks, hit 'em all, throw a spoon or spinner, and I garuntee you'll catch a red or two.

Work shorelines around the creeks on a falling tide with a gold spoon. Also throw around oyster bars. If you see major schools of mullet, throw in and around them. These strategies also work on a rising tide.

We're in the dog days of summer and worse. The action may not be fast and furious but you ought to be able to catch some fish if you're patient.
