Is this Redfish?
 

I just recieved this in an email. All it said was redfish. Anyone have an idea?

goood lawd

I've seen em like that in LNG before.

DAMN...ain't never seen anything like that before.....water looks real blue do redfish go that far offshore?

Ive seen it like that in caminada pass before...

yes reds. Pic supposedly around Dauphin Island, AL. & Yes they go offshore, mostly to breed. Thats why they are protected 3 miles out.

X2!!

X2. It's awesome to see and they will crush anything you throw at em.

I know. They didn't stay up like that real long but I messed up and through a top water in there. Of course they crushed it. But I wasted all my time gettin treble hooks out while my buddy was slinging em wit a grub. But afterthey went down we kept catchin trout on topwater was fun for sure.

I still prolly couldn't catch one.....

Cast net, Tim.lol

WOW ! I'd like to see that !

Seen them like this in Big lake a few times...Maybe not as wide spread but schools of a few thousand.......... Me,Bonsack and my Brother hit a school last September in the lake that almost knocked us out the boat..about 2 acres of reds just busting bait...Coolest thing I ever seen in the lake....

Go to bed!!!!!
Never seen that before.
I probably couldnt catch one either, even like that.

yeah I've seen em out there in the lake like that too. But they move fast, and trolling motor couldn't keep up! Still cool site to see. Water was pretty green that day and you could see this dark copper mass just moving through the water.

Wow. That's pretty cool!!

Brad found a school like that this past weekend in Breton sound

many years ago I saw a picture of a school of redfish offshore sorrounded by a purse sein and a big boat. It was that picture that was part of the campaign to make reds a gamefish. wish i could find that pic. I believe it was in Louisiana Conservationist magazine. I had the entire collection until a flood took them away in 2007.

Take the hooks completely off .... All I want is to see em blow up on it I could care less if I boat the redfish and sure as hell don't wanna be unhooking it

know where they are doing this every day.....

seen a massive school last year it was every bit of the same size as above... pretty neat

Not nearly as big ..... but here is a picture of schooling Reds in Big Lake. Picture was taken in early Sept. 2010. I should have taken a picture earlier that day. Earlier, the fish schools were a little bigger and more agressive on the surface. Sometimes there were 3 or 4 big schools all feeding at the same time.
.

That day, every 10 minutes or so, a school would resurface somewhere in the area and start busting the bait. If the school was too far away, we just waited and another school would come back up closer to us.

Got this email last year. It said Whiskey Island

good lawd =--t-claude

If i ever saw that i would just stand there in amazement ain't no way i could throw a bait

I saw a school of reds on a beach by nmarsh island about 6 years ago like that....huge

Those last pictures are just amazing. I bet that happens more than we think. It would definitely be a site, just like all those tripletail me and JBerg saw 3 weeks ago.

I heard bout that trip...he said yall ran out of icechest space and had to come back in...musta been an awesome trip

I have seen schools of redfish, but never that big, would be an awesome site.

i've seen pic of them in schools like that in lake borgne. not that many though!

those pics are friggin insane.

Man thats cool!
What are they eating like that?

Def reds...tick, tick, tick

haha me and totaldominationilization saw the same thing with the 3tails...crazy cool...

i used to see them school at the lake charles seawall all the time at night pre-rita but not nearly that massive. i think the harrah's lights had something to do with it. they move fast. i'd hear the splashes and fish and catch a couple, then i'd hear them fade away. then i'd wait to hear the splashes again and start fishing.

is that what they call red tide?

seen it like that once before in montegut. we call it "Red tide"

red fish tide.

Seriously, I think red tide ivolves a red algae bloom and is very toxic.

Saw reds like that at the first bridge going to GI two days after a tropical storm.
they were feeding on the storm minnows coming out the flooded marsh.
5 cast 5 fish.

ive seen it like that in turners before.. easy limit of reds it is..

It definitely was!
