In a river hopefully!
The reds sure do….
Over slot and a couple of " pigs get slaughtered " in the slot. Both 21-22"

Full of crabs!

I had a 30" roll on my shrimp fly in a flooded marsh. We watch him for about 20 min and then positioned my buddy's 22ft into position. His tail was massive.

A few mature trout but mostly smalls. High tides played hell on us along with dirty water from the tides

FAT reds!

Tides were ripping as well in MS producing a lot of sediment to muddy up my waters too.

What's crazy, we caught 4 slots and an 18 in flounder about 75y downcurrent of a deep hole on a straightaway with zero current breaks.

That's a first for me and I can't figure it out. Normally I find the fish in current breaks or eddies when the tide is ripping, or move all the way up they bayous to where they end to fish out of the strong current.

But these fish were just laying on the bottom right in the middle of the super strong current.

Looks like fun! But are redfish good eating? Seems like they would
Be akin to a freshwater drum.

They are so good they almost went extinct in the 70's when they got over harvested commercially. BLACKENED REDFISH on the menu exploded everywhere did this. However, efforts thru groups like CCA ( Coastal Conservation Association) brought about legislation to keep a 3 mile buffer to help bring them back and it has worked.

So yes, excellent table fare as an inshore fish.
 
I made my version of blackened fish last night for 8 folks for supper. Gave each their choice of redfish, flounder, or trout. 6/8 wanted redfish. I love redfish, but prefer flounder just a little more.
