Tailing Redfish Video on the Texas Coast
hi, everyone. here is some footage of tailing redfish from the texas coast a few weekends ago. this is a crappy edit of some shaky footage, hard to keep small cameras still while zoomed all the way in.
you guys will need to download quicktime if you haven’t done so already. hopefully the plug-in will detect if you have quicktime, otherwise go HERE to download it (it’s free). yeah, i know that FLASH video is more standard these days, but i’m not a technician and i haven’t figured out how to make good looking compressed videos for FLASH yet, that’s my next project. so for the time being, just download QT from the Apple site (click HERE), install it, and refresh. email me if you have problems seeing the video.
cheers, joey
Recent Redfish
so, we went to the coast the weekend before last. i was with my Argentine friend, room mate (in Buenos Aires) and business partner Sebastian Casado who was here visiting. the water had been super high from low pressure and constant north east winds that were piling up the water since Hurricane Gustav back in early September, so it made the redfishing kind of tough.
we had a good couple of days. found lots of big fish near JFK causeway on Saturday, but couldn’t get them to eat. came up on pods of hundreds of fish, mostly in the 24-28 inch range, but some 30+ inch fish. finally got a couple nice ones to eat. this is a photo of me with a 29″, 9 lb redfish.
the next day (Sunday), the wind was out of the northwest and calm, but the water dropped about a foot, to more reasonable levels. we launched out of Goose Island State Park and headed for some lakes on the backside of St. Jo Island. we found a lake with pod after pod of tailing fish, mostly smaller fish, but a couple pods had some big fish in them. we spent the next few hours catching all the fish we wanted out of those pods. i’ll post some video when i get around to it. here is Sebastian with a nice 26″ redfish. photos by Vince Wiseman and Joey Lin. cheers.
