Kayak Fishing for Redfish in Texas (Best Topwater Lure!)

In this episode I'm stalking redfish on the Texas coast from my kayak with Miss Jennifer Maguire (@southernbellefishingtx) and the Moore family. We're going over techniques and tactics for getting more redfish to the boat and gettin' it done on topwater lures in less than a foot of water.

Most times when you say look at the tail color I can’t really see it but that was a really blue tail. Gorgeous.

[@randywilson6869]

What color was that blue tails eyes

[@YakFishField]

Yeah that one was lit up 😍

[@jamesvillien6083]

Max is a Madman! Glad to see y'all ringing in the new year with tight lines

[@RadReelingFishing]

Topwater action is the best of the best, awesomeness! Catching Redfish is a blast anyway you can hook up with them. I hope we get to see you and Jennifer interact more. Thanks Robert for another great adventure.

[@YakFishField]

I love those reds, and I’m hoping if I play my cards right I can convince Jennifer to be on the show again. Wish me luck

[@RadReelingFishing]

@@YakFishField You don't need my wishes, you've got plenty of lures I'm sure, ha ha...

Ayyeee 🤘 My backyard. Hell yea! Thanks for putting us on the map! Love the vids man! Fish on!

Texas is my home state and I’ve done many vids from the Galveston area. Upper Texas coast has always been my favorite coast to redfish 👌🏼

[@FishiganMilligan]

Back in my neck of the woods! I was sight casting reds a few weeks ago. Ain’t nothing better 🙌🏼

[@dylanfournet6080]

@12:20 incorrect. Redfish have to be 16" in Louisiana

i love redfishing. my dad had a camp on conway bayou and growing up i loved red fish season

Such Entertaining videos man. Keep them coming, wish you’d upload way more! Hopefully I’ll make it out to Panama one day

[@YakFishField]

I’ll be picking up the pace here shortly, and Field Trips Panamá ramps up again on Tuesday 😎

[@jimbeauxjimenez1850]

Fantastic video, Robert. SLP Country Park is my goto to launch my Solo Skiff especially in the wintertime. Since they dredged it, it's no longer shallow when you launch your boat. Awesome

[@YakFishField]

Yeah way better since they dredged! Love that area were there every thanksgiving

[@jimmysalazar7039]

Dude, I admire how you seem interested in these inshore fish, when you're used to catching roosters at LOS BUZOS!

[@TravisDoesKayakFishing]

Keep doing what you are doing. It's great stuff. 🐠

[@glenima173]

you always post great videos and thank you for inspiring me to go out fishing when I have time. Just wanted to comment if anyone already did it might be a repeat but @ 18:41 did you have a fish on a stringer? on the bottom right of the screen looks like a red following but it seems like it has a fishing line in its mouth.

[@NellysfishingAdventures]

Such a good video, i gotta try this one day

[@TheFishingExpat]

[@fishinislife9953]

@@YakFishField if you ever go back, you might check out Cavasso creek. It connects to saint charles bay. There is a boat launch off of that hwy 35 just north of lamar. Last time i fished it i caught some good sized flounder, quite a few good reds and a couple huge gafftops.. i put in at that boat launch and went towards saint charles bay. Never had much luck the other direction..

Fun video. I got hooked on redfish and planning a trip soon. Looks like a great camp ground. Is that the county park at the pass by the boat ramp?

[@briarfox637]

I want to say it is and they probably paddled over to the bayou north west from there.

[@dominicmilligan1250]

Just caught the video, looks fun. Maybe you already said it but what rod, reel and top water lures were those? Hey, I never thought of putting a gulp under a pop cork, great idea. Also, what app were you talking about? Thanks.

[@YakFishField]

Gulp under the cork is a bulletproof strategy. Using an Abu rod and reel and a Rapala Skitterwalk in gold with black back. The app is the ANGLR app and it’s one of the best tools I use on the water. Download it for free here: bit.ly/2Uzht7G

San Louis Pass County Park

[@stevevasquez3660]

@@YakFishField Thanks will be checking that place out soon.

[@MuscleMilkDaddy]

You don’t like the popping cork?

[@YakFishField]

I muuucchhhh prefer to sightcast with soft plastics on light spinning gear. That’s the beauty of the kayak, getting to hunt for them in the back marshes in water so skinny you don’t need to cast until you see a fish. I find it way more fun than blindly popping a cork waiting for them to come to you. BUT sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do, and the water was just too deep. The popping cork is ALWAYS effective, it’s just not the most fun way to fish for em to me personally

[@MuscleMilkDaddy]

@@YakFishField i hear ya ! im still working on my fishing skills enough to actually locate my fish and not blind cast all day! haha i need a field trips to sharpen my skills!! thanks Robert love the channel.

Who painted your paddle

[@YakFishField]

It’s made like that by Accent. www.accentpaddles.com under fishing paddles

[@gittekrog-meyerholmen2223]

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

[@FNPNick]

It stinks reds have to be 20" in Texas. Between 16-20" is perfect eating size!

[@YakFishField]

Yeah. I’m sure there’s a good reason for the health of the population. I do prefer Louisiana’s slot though
