I'm ready to start fly fishing for redfish. Got a lot to learn.
Strip strike. I've smacked dozens of trout guys with my push pole that refused to strip strike.
Learn your hauls. You will miss lots of fish if you can't haul.
People say redfish are stupid and will eat anything, this is partly true. However, if drop your fly line on their back, they will spook.
Presentation rules all followed closely by sink rate. Sandbar flies are pretty but if you can't get it in front the fish and down in the water column at the right speed, they are worthless.

If you were to hit me with a push pole for not strip setting a redfish, your arse would be in the water 
. You really don't need to strip set redfish if you've got a decent 8wt with a solid backbone. Just hit em hard and let em run. If you're chasing 30lb fish, different story.
Definitely a common misconception. Sink rate and presentation are really important, especially in the summer. Redfish aren't as dumb as a lot of people would like to think. You can normally make a redfish bite when he doesn't want to bite by pissing him off. To do this, you gotta get the fly in his face. Make sure your sink rate is good based on where you're fishing.
