The flood tides that affect the coastal region provide easy meals for redfish in the marsh. For anglers who have studied how reads move onto the flats, some of the best places catch a red during the tailing tides is in their staging locations in deeper water. But anglers targeting those areas can ruin their future tailing action.
Jeff Lattig of Living Water Guide Service loves the action but also understands that pressure on the main feeder creeks and staging areas can be devastating.
“Never post up on the main feeder creeks to these flats,” said Lattig. “You will definitely mess up the fishing because the fish will not come up on the flats if your boat is right in their path.”
Reds will generally try to use the same access points and ramps on to the flats.
“The fish will start tailing on the edge of these access routes. If your boat is in the way, it can be devastating,” he said.
