Remember how I was talking about not messing with all the things? Maybe we should mess with all the things:
The Hunt For Redfish In October
https://coastalanglermag.com/the-hunt-for-redfish-in-october/
To sum up, cooler waters bring redfish up into the flats to eat fiddler crabs and other delicious morsels hiding out in the grass. How does one get up in the flats to chase and catch those hungry redfish?
Option A is to find yourself a pier or dock that goes out that way. Doable, but limiting.
Option B is to put on some waders and stomp out there. Messy, but can be fun.
Option C: get your butt in a kayak and paddle.
