PlatinumBass Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I'm new to the Bass fishing world and have found a few spots that hold nice size Bass and are also holding really nice redfish. I'm fishing w plastic worms, frogs, plugs and flukes and these redfish will pay me no attention! I usually stop and fish while driving around at work(Fire inspector) so I don't have the luxury of having much more and no live bait.. Any help would be appreciated. Quote
kikstand454 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Yes. Reds will hit plastics. I've caught them on everything you mentioned. However, I do most of my redfish damage with a spook or a gold spoon. Another option for you would be 1/4oz or so jighead and a gulp shrimp in new penny color. Fish it like a jig. Good luck..... nothing fights like a red! Quote
Catch 22 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I like 3" paddle tails on a 1/4 or 5/16 jig head. Chartreuse glitter ,rootbeer/wh tail, pearl/char tail are a few favs. Gulp baits are good too. C22 Quote

Super User SirSnookalot Posted April 2, 2015 Super User Posted April 2, 2015 Redfish key-spoon, I use them mainly for bass http://www.wahoofpi.com/spoons/redfish-key-spoons/redfish-key-spoon-wah-rkt14-ft Quote
FSUFish Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Redfish will hit anything a bass will hit. Although spoons, topwaters and Gulp are common lures, I know a guy who frequently catches redfish on Senkos Quote
