The arkansas glow CAL paddle tail with a 1/8 oz. red jig head is my favorite redfish bait.

use it in the flats, inlet or both?[/quote]

Flats or inlet, ladyfish are very oily and the scent spreads throught the water drawing them in, that goes the same for blue crab.

reds will eat just about anything depending where u live but over here on the space coast they will eat just about anything but when theres not much bait around their either not around that area or their feeding on crustation (shrimp, crabs and such) so when using arties and u see lots of bait around use baits that represent mullet or whatever when theres not much bait and u kno theres fish there still use a shrimp or crab imitation

Read that ladyfish works really well on here and put it to use lately. Got into a school of ladys last week and caught almost 70 between three of us. Was getting old fast so i cut one up and threw it near the mouth of a small creek as the tide was coming in. Caught 7 or 8 reds in a matter of thirty minutes. Great advice!!

Shrimp, DOAs and Gulp also do great. Like they said above, they will hit almost anything. Just started using Mirrodines and it has been a great addition to the arsenal. catch reds, snook and anything else that sees it.
