Tips and Techniques: Redfish: You can sight cast in shallow, lightly stained water for redfish. You can find them in shallow bays and points. Sight casting in shallow off color water is the best for reds and working points and shallow bays work best for them. Snook and Tarpon: You will find them in moving water and up large and small inlets and rivers. You should be able to find some large snook. Move slowly and be quiet. Make sure you cast ahead of the boat, or otherwise, you may spook them.
