This trip was one of those other days.

I found myself surrounded by tailing redfish in shallow, crystal-clear water—the perfect setup for an epic bite. But cast after cast, these fish just wouldn’t cooperate. Spooked fish, missed strikes, and even one that shook free right after I hooked it… it was a tough one. But what could I have done differently to land one? Watch the video above to see!

Tony that was right on true to life example of what we all face. Loved it and learned from it. TY for sharing brother. 🙂
You’re welcome Chris!
Would you like to see some videos of me not catching fish? I excel at that! LOL
Haha, I have plenty more!
Even when you don’t catch any it’s still exciting just to witness them tailing.
For sure!
