Redfish

Dan the man! 

<div><span style="font-size: 1em;">I Had Dan and family out. The winds were tough.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1em;">The choppy seas made it difficult to spot any fish, but we managed to catch a few decent redfish and a couple of snook. We also caught a few trout using live shrimp as bait. Overall, it was a challenging but successful day on the water. Our tackle held up well, with the 13 Fishing #Axum 4.0 paired with Green Omen heavy action proving to be a reliable combo. Despite the tough conditions, we had a great time out on the flats of Anclote River and would definitely recommend it to any avid fisherman looking for a challenge.</span><br></div>
