Redfish Fishing Videos

Ever wonder why redfish ignore your presentations when conditions get tough? Whether you're dealing with pressured fish in popular spots, scorching summer heat, or challenging tides, the difference between getting skunked and landing limits often comes down to technique refinement.

Our redfish fishing video courses break down the strategies that consistently produce fish along Florida's Gulf Coast and beyond. Captain William Toney, a fourth-generation guide, shows you exactly how to adapt your approach based on what the fish are telling you.

Learn the techniques that separate weekend anglers from serious redfish hunters:

  • Live bait tactics using pinfish, shrimp, and mud minnows for different scenarios
  • Artificial lure selection with DOA soft plastics and jerkbaits for varying water clarity
  • Sight casting methods for shallow water and mangrove edges during summer
  • Popping cork rigs that trigger strikes when fish won't commit to free-lined baits

These aren't generic tips. You'll see real-time decisions, bait modifications, and positioning strategies that work when standard approaches fail.
