Typically, Redfish are not thought of as an offshore fish, but they do gather in large schools, frequently driving bait to the surface where they feed aggressively. In this instance, I was trolling a deep diving lure about 10 miles out for Gag Grouper. I noticed a large school of bait/fish on my bottom machine and moments later this fish struck which was released; we saw far too many dead after a recent red tide to consider keeping it. Notice the pale color, this is common with inshore fish like Snook & Redfish when they are on the beaches or in deeper water; an adaptation to blend into their surroundings..
