Default RE: Saw lots a fish but...

Thanks for the replies guys!

The fish have been very spooky the last few weeks and its because they are being pushed hard. Believe me the fish are there. Try taking a different approach next time.

Alot of times you will push a group of redfish before you even get a good cast on them. Im sure all of you are familiar with seeing a group of fish wake well out of casting range and when you get up to them all you see are mud boils. Yep thats redfish! Those redfish are in that spot for a reason, whether it be some sort of food they like, or the water temp was just right for them. Believe me, if youtake a short breakand wait, the fish will return. Trybacking off the spotwhere you pushed thefish out ofand give them some time to settle back in.I did this just yesterday with a group of fish. I saw them making wakesin aspot about 50yds in front of my boat. When I got within casting distance all the fish had moved. I backed up about 20yds, put the anchor down, ate a sandwhich, and within 15 minutes I had a school of 10 or so fish within 20yds of my boat and was able to make an easy cast on them for an instant hook up.

The worse thing you can do is push these fish further and further away from where they want to be.
