With the popularity of trolling motors increasing every year to make accessing the good fishing areas a little quieter, actually can server as a problem. Even the best trolling motors can make a noise that can in some ways spoke the fish. I prefer to pole in to decrease the outside noises. And speaking of noise, I make sure to fish in locations that are free of boat traffic and with little or no fishing activity except for me whenever possible. The worst thing you can do is fish in populated areas where fish see hundreds of boats. Also, when possible, use the wind or current to drift flats and other areas you are trying to sight fish.
When pursuing the Redfish in the short grass, it is easier to get closer to the fish without scaring them on foot. That’s what I said…. on foot. You must make sure you are on a sandy bottom to do this. Make sure to avoid the mud bottoms that be camouflaged with a small amount of sand over the top. This can sink will sink up to your chest before you know it if you are not careful.
