My buddy and I went out fishing recently and had one of the most amazing trips ever, this was something we rarely get to see but we actually found a school of 50-60 redfish scooling, tailing and feeding in an area on small crabs. We managed to catch 4 before the school got spooky and the tide switched and they were gone. One of the pictures is from a second trip we took on a friday afternoon and caught 10 redfish and I hooked my first Tarpon.

Nice, what area were you fishing?

Great pictures and report, sounds like an action packed day !!

Nice

What fun! Give us the exact location please.

Stay off my hole.

I will say that the top water action was great until about 8am then switched to Aqua Dream gold spoon or a slayer pink jig head with a root beer gulp with a chartrucse tail and make sure you have a fluorocarbon leader.

Were you in Florida??

Great fish! Wow Wtg!

Schooling reds is as fun as fishing gets to me. I have only done it a few times and it was awesome! Way to go.

Agree, totally amazing. We "lucked" into a similar situation on Saturday while fishing the tournament. In addition to the 3-4 overslot we released or broke off, Luc scored a just under 27 (big redfish = $290.00) and I had a second @ 26 just in case his grew in the cooler, which it did not. What fun, and ca-ching!

That redfish is prettier than Wiley.

Well don't hold it against me because of the company I keep.

If you post your exact GPS coordinates here we'll all be happy... Looks like a great day . I have experienced the same thing several times and it is amazing. The favorite memory was in St. Joe Bay; water was so clear you could see them schooling on the bottom it looked like the grass had turned red

I have seen them several times at St. Joe Bay. Looked like a red fish parade. One morning I looked down and a school of stingrays came through by the hundreds followed by a large school of reds, then more stingrays and more reds, each in their own pods. I found myself sitting there with my rod and reel in hand not casting, just watching.
