Massive School of Bull Redfish on the Mosquito Lagoon - Video

[Cavanaugh68]

Well a couple of weeks ago I was able to get out and do some fishing with a colleague and myself. We had a great day! There was only one or two boats in sight the whole day. We were able to get into some really nice bull reds. A very large school of them. I just now got around to putting this together and had to edit out a bunch of dead time, so it took me a while to get it up here. We landed several throughout the day but I was able to get these with some nice HD footage. Landed them all using D.O.A.'s. and light tackle.

NICE JOB!

Excellent.

I have a coefficient where my inability to hookup a red goes up with the size of the school. Those big schools have always been a bust for me. I blame it on the fish being constantly harassed which may partly be to blame, but I certainly can't fault my fish-catching skills, now can I.

Thanks for posting the video.
What reel are you using on that first hooked red? Is that a Stradic FI?

Very nice Reds! Thanks for posting.

Appreciate the comments! Thanks!

I am using the Sustains (4000/2500), yes. Also a Stella there.

Nice video.. How deep are you seeing these schools.. Off of the flats obviously..

Most of these fish were in the deeper waters just roaming and heading towards the south. They never did a 180 or anything like that. Every now and then they crossed maybe a 3 foot section of the the lagoon or so but I would say they stayed in 5-8 feet that day. No rhyme or reason too it. I would also say they were all or most males due to the drumming they were doing.
