It’s redfish time!
If you want to catch more redfish this year, then you’ve got to hear this interview.
After spending years learning about redfish habits and biology, and then leveraging that knowledge to become one of the best redfish anglers I know, Luke finally wrote his book, Redfish Secrets.
And today, I’ve got him here with me sharing his secrets for catching redfish in all four seasons.
We started in spring, then went through summer, fall, and winter, and he shared things like:
- The biggest mistakes anglers make that are keeping them from catching redfish (even when they’re in the right spot at the right time)
- What the best lures are for redfish and how to use them to get reds to strike
- The best spots and times to catch fish in all four seasons
- How long to stay in a spot if you’re not catching anything
- How to catch bull redfish (and why this is different than catching slot redfish)
- And much more
