I haven't been there in years, but fishing used to be fairly limited to a bunch of smaller ditches running all across the place...crabbing and throwing a castnet for skrimps was good because you could pretty much drive up to the ditch and set up there....

yes you can catch reds in the canals with a popping cork and skrimps, dead or alive

Not as many fish as shellfish

There is a launch in the refuge and the Gulf is about 1/2 mile run by boat- maybe not even that far.

Redfish are not usually my number 1 target when I go there, but there's usually plenty to be caught. I have some friends that do pretty good with the redfish. The Bertrand canal is a good place to try as well as price lake road canal. I've caught plenty of specs out there as well.

ok I will let you in on a huge secret.
You have to time it perfectly and constantly look at weather forecasts, but you go down Price Lake Rd. till you get to the Observation Tower. It is a rather popular crabbing spot.
There is a weir. If you are in that location after a couple days of heavy showers and the weir starts overflowing with water, you will catch tons of redfish.
ETA: Use live shrimp

yes
ETA:
when that weir starts flooding all of the baitfish come and try to feast on all of the vegetation that comes from the other side.
Also if you like Alligator Gar there will be a ton of the medium 3-5 ft size ones there too.
