The next best thing to catching a big fish is watching someone catch one for the first time. After a 30-minute fight on light tackle, Larry Meador, a close friend of mine, hauled in a massive redfish this summer. We bounced hand-sized blue crabs on the bottom as we drifted the outgoing tide. Summer months are great times to catch BIG fish in Florida’s many inlets and deep waterways. A few tips: Fish the outgoing tide and use big bait. Don’t get frustrated if you have to re-rig multiple times from snagging the bottom- that’s part of it.
Enjoy florida!
