For you guys who are going to chase some tail, here is a tip.
Whenever you see that tail up like that, it is a sign they are feeding. A Spot-tailed Bass, Red Drum, Redfish has a snout like a plow and a mouth shaped like a half circle. They stand up almsot vertical to get their nose into the bottom surface to stir up crustations. Their mouth is designed to feed off the botom on what they turn up. You must watch to see which way they are going before you toss your bait. Cast 4' to 6' in front of them without a splash. Let your bait settle and when reds are near just move it very slightly. If you see tail, they are feeding so they will take your bait every time. Your bait must enter the water in front of them without a splash or they will spook. If you see one tail you can bet that there are many redfish that you do not see. They travel and feed in big schools. They are very easily spooked. If you spook them it is very hard to get them to feed again. You may have to leave and sneak back. I am so ready to go back.
No, I did not take that pic. I saw it on the web and really liked it. You can bet if I was there I would have had a rod in my hand and a shrimp in the water. The camera would have to wait.
