<div>We went in search of redfish in the creeks and boy did we find them. We sat on the first drop and caught 40+ redfish in the matter of 30 minutes. The client decided he wanted to push into the shallow creeks and sight cast for the big girls and we ended up catching 8 or so big reds by sight fishing. It was an epic day of fishing!</div>
