does the waxed finish make you sweat more?
Yes. I can only wear mine in the winter and I still get wet head.
Lots of places sell rod bags. Most rod building supply places have them. Some are listed above. Mudhole.com has them, as does Cabelas.
Anywhere, with anybody that will go with you. Redfish can be found just about anywhere on the Florida coast. Mosquito Lagoon has the reputation for the biggest redfish and an abundance of fish. I am a Gulf Coast guy myself, so I favor the west coast of Florida.
If I were planning a trip, I would go to the 1,000 islands area around Naples/Marco Island. It is a great redfish spot, as well as, just about anything else you can think of. It has the widest variety of habitats you will find in Florida. The only guide I know down there is Capt. Charlie Wright. I runs flats boats and kayaks and knows the area as well as anybody.

I am in the Tampa Bay area and there are a lot of good redfish spots here. April is a great month since most of the fish are moving from winter to summer haunts, so there is a lot of activity in all species.
Nice report Steve. I plan on getting out this weekend after laying off for a couple of weeks. I’ve been having good luck with reds, specs and ladyfish, but have yet to find the pompano this year.
When are you coming Keith?
Nice job! Those should catch some snook.
Here are some copperhead schminnows I tied up for a swap recently.
I don’t have a clue as to your question, but I happened to catch a part of Shaw Grigsby’s show on Shoal Bass on the Flint River. It looked like a great place to fly fish for them. Since that is within driving distance of me (albiet a long drive), I was interested in some of the specifics on fishing for them. When to target, rod types and flies. What part of the Flint are they normally found on?
