Red October is finally here and fishing is outstanding. If you've never hooked a redfish or felt the tug this is the time to book a trip. I have been doing a lot of surf trips and redfish are stacked up and ready to feed. This redfish frenzy will last about a month or so then the action will slow down but until then its the time to experience the action. Lets get you hooked on the tug. Consider me your next fishing guide.
