Fishing with Capt. George Tunison | Now is the time to reel in redfish

Cool overcast mornings between showers and mangrove shorelines filled with hungry redfish? Uncrowded ramps and not another boat in sight? What a great time to be on local waters as Red October blends into Red November, and the hot inshore redfish bite continues – hopefully all the way to turkey-time.
