Fresh Premium Milton Redfish Fishing Adventure

Red Drum Fishing Adventure in Milton Florida

Redfish fishing in Milton FL using jigging and fly fishing techniques

The sun peeks over the horizon. Waves lap gently against the boat. A cool breeze carries the scent of salt. The captain points to a spot near the shore. We cast our lines. Minutes pass. Suddenly a tug. The reel sings. A flash of copper in the water. The redfish fights hard. It leaps and dives. We hold on tight. Finally it tires. We net our prize. A beautiful 25-inch red. We admire its scales and spot. Photos are taken. Then we release it back to the sea. Another cast. Another bite. The day is young. The fish are hungry. We are happy.
