Use to fish Florida bay back in the late 70 early 80 before Paul Prudhomme blackened a redfish. There were millions of them. I would catch 50 fish a day. Then the trawlers from Louisiana showed up netted them night and day. Now redfish seasons, limits on catches , size limits, Goverment regulation, all because of a damn fish recipe. They are a very good eating fish. Good luck and tight lines.
