Like DLauw said, find the cuts. Redfish will be in cuts that lead from shallow water to deeper water and on the sides of small marsh islands opposite the flow of the tide. If you head south from the Marina in he main channel, you can hit all those cuts from the shallow marsh. I find the east side to be more productive than the west, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try the west side. There will be lots of patches of small islands. Islands will be about as big as pickup trucks and will be 3 or 4 of them. Fish in between them.

Yeah you don't need to paddle far, I was just saying I'm going to go 3-4 miles on the 31st to find some new spots.

There's a lot of grass, but the water has to move out and you just have to find where it digs out the grass and makes a deeper cut. If I get in grass, I usually move on. There's fish there, but there is also plenty of opportunity to catch nice fish and not have to deal with the grass. Unless you just want to make it a mission to overcome that challenge which I sometimes do.

The place I'm going also had trout last trip if anyone wants to go catch some of them. I've never caught trout at my closer spots. Of course I'm not trying to sound like some Delacroix expert. I've just fished it a lot.

Im following you on Saturday for sure Van. Sounds like a sweet spot at the end of that 3 mile paddle.
