Heck yeah. Reds are my favorite fish, both to fish for and to eat. It’s amazing how much harder they fight than a comparable size bass. I still love bass fishing, don’t get me wrong. But for me, getting into redfish did the same thing to bass fishing that getting into turkey hunting did to deer hunting. Deer hunting and bass fishing just don’t quite scratch the itch the way they used to.
And if you ever get the slightest inkling that redfish (or even bass for that matter) may not excite you quite as much as they used to, pick a fly rod and start over
Chasing tailing and belly-crawling redfish with a fly rod is the fishing equivalent of a spot & stalk bow hunt. It’s up close and personal
