Captain Terry's Tips

When fishing structure like Jim was when he managed to catch a twenty-seven inch redfish using ten pound test line it's important to really pay attention. Cast as close as you can to the structure - let the line sink straight down before clicking in the bale - reel in the slack being sure not to reel to much so you don't pull the bait away from the structure. When the fish picks up the bait reel like crazy to pull him away from the structure, when you have him away a safe distance then slow down a little to wear him out for the landing. It is a waiting and paying attention game, however it does pay off.
