SHOW DESCRIPTION
While fishing a flat some signs of fish are more obvious than others. A bunch of busy seabirds or fish slashing bait on the surface, or maybe the all time favorite sign, a big square tail waving in your face like an “All You Can Eat” banner.
Tune into this weeks episode of Shallow Water Angler to learn the not so obvious signs of fish--the subtle signs. On the west coast of Florida publisher Blair Wickstrom clues in on the white sand rings adjacent oyster bars to catch redfish while editor Mike Conner dials in on less than ideal conditions, fishing water as clear as coffee. The trick in this case was knowing where the drop offs were and using the wind lines on the water to show you where they were.
