Redfishing Adventures on the Newell River
The first time Jeff took me fishing on the Newell River, I was enchanted—not just by the beautiful waters but also by his sweet, supportive nature. As he expertly hooked a fish for me, it became clear that he loved seeing others reel in a catch just as much as he enjoyed doing it himself. This quaint river is the perfect backdrop for our little fishing escapades, where laughter mingles with the rustling of the leaves and the soft lapping of the water. Redfishing here can be quite the adventure, especially when you time your trips just right. As the sun dips lower and the water cools, it seems the redfish are as eager for a bite as we are to catch them. So, grab your gear and get ready for some unforgettable moments, just like the one I had catching that gorgeous redfish.

Fishing for redfish on the Newell River offers both seasoned anglers and newcomers a delightful experience. The best seasons for catching these beauties are from late summer into fall, particularly in October and November when the water cools down. This seasonal shift draws redfish into shallow areas where they feast on shrimp and baitfish, making them easier targets for fishing enthusiasts.
When it comes to gear, using a 10-weight fly rod is ideal for those hoping to land larger bull redfish. A variety of lures can entice them, with Saltwater Assassin sea shads on jigheads being a favorite among local anglers. Remember to choose colors that mimic their natural prey—think reds and golds.
Fishing near shoals and inlets, as well as dropping bait into deeper channels, often yields good results. Just a gentle reminder: always check local regulations to ensure you're respecting size and bag limits, keeping our fishing spots sustainable for years to come. Finally, don’t forget to connect with fellow anglers and local fishing reports—they can provide invaluable insights and enhance your overall fishing experience.
