A guide I fished with in Fla. last month told me it was great Red fishing.He's fished tournaments there.All the shows I've seen were mostly filmed in the Fall.Fall fishing is good for Reds anywhere and most of the trout I've seen caught are mostly small,Spike Trout.I've been retired almost 2 years now and was considering La.,but I'm only interested in Jan./Feb.I guess I'll stick with Florida for those 2 months.Of the 4 species I fished for In Fla, Kayak/light tacklelast month are( in my favorite order of preferred species)Backwater Tarpon,Snook, then Redfish,Trout.
