Help with PCOLA redfish action

chirc · 12-02-2008, 10:13 PM

I live in FWB but have never fished PCOLA except for the bridge from the car. After viewing lots of reports and seeing pics of the Big Bulls I would like to try out that action when my son comes home from college on Christmas break.

I am looking for help with general areas to try and trolling techniques if that is what works. I have access to the Navy base to launch but will put in anywhere that is closer to the action.

Thanks

sherman's will be perfect.... troll the pass with stretches and look for bird action.

Trollanywhere from the pass to theNAS turn basin to three milewith stretch 25s or 30s. Look for bird activity on the way. Resting birds are a good start, but lots of birds buzzing over one spot = definate school of bulls. Watch the fishfinder for anything resembling good bottom structure. When you find the school, you can drop anything on them (bucktails, soft plastics, or even a bare hook!) and hook up.

P.S. - If you fly fish, be sure to bring your rod. :toast
