Redfish University quicktrip-March 18, 2009

Fished with friend and tackle rep., Brant Peacher, this morning and found very good quality redfish. The water was as clear as a swimming pool and the redfish were incredibly aggressive and could be sightfished with ease. Ended up catching over a dozen fish in a few hours with some massive upper slot fish. All fish caught on Berkley Gulp! 5″ Jerkshads in sardine this time(forgot my camos) and Johnson 1/4oz. Gold Spoons. All fish...

Sightfishing Excellence at Redfish University-November 5, 2008

Fished with Jeff Russell this morning in East Bay. Jeff’s girlfriend secretly booked a Redfish U. session for his birthday so I wanted to make his experience extra special with some shallow water sightfishing. Started out with a quick milkrun through East Bay on some shallow muddy bottoms and picked off several very nice fish. As the water dropped, we made our way to some very shallow grass areas where we found 25-30 tailing redfish along a 500 yd stretch of bank. As I quietly poled, orange tails were flopping everywhere and Jeff made some awesome presentations with weedless Gulp! Shrimp and Jerkshads which resulted in some classic hookups. I even got to back up Jeff a few times on the rare occasions that he didn’t stick a fish!! Ended up with about 25 quality fish which were all released...

“What a great teacher and fishing guide.”

“Sunday my wife and I went out with Eric Holstman to learn to target redfish. It was a great day. Very windy so Eric had the chance to teach us to fish even during high winds. We fished Perdido Bay using Gulp Jerk Shap, Gold Spoons, and Gulp 3″ New Penny Shrimp. We caught 6 redfish (3 was slot reds) and 9 flounder. We released all reds and kept 5 flounder. Perdido proved to be a good place to fish. We are looking forward to fishing with Eric again someday. What a great teacher and fishing guide.”  — Mr. Jim Saxton (Perdido Key,...
