Sak Narwal Rises to the Challenge of Catching Redfish

The redfish is one of the fisherman's favorite challenge and Sak Narwal likes a challenge. Considered a warm water fish, the redfish has similar structure to the stingray and catfish. The copper color gives them the reddish hue.

The redfish is generally found along the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast where avid fishermen pit their skills with this agile fish. Once an endangered species due to over fishing, redfish live a long life (40-50 years) and grow large up to 36 inches and ninety pounds. The Louisiana coast is a favorite fishing ground for fishermen like Sak Narwal, a catch and release fisherman who enjoys the challenge and the solitude of fishing.

Redfish can be lured with cut bait of mullet or mantis shrimp. The redfish has a keen sense of smell and can be lured towards the hook which can be reigned in by the angler. It is a voracious eater and bottom feeder. Some fishermen like to troll in a flat bottom boat. This can be a challenge since the redfish has a keen sense of hearing and can detect the boat from afar. Many anglers prefer to wade into the marshy water to keep as quite and unobtrusive an approach as possible. Of course, he is also competing with diving birds like gulls and terns who enjoy fishing for redfish as well.

Redfish is abundant in Louisiana, Texas and Florida as well as the Carolina coasts. Sak Narwal, who likes to learn from nature, has pitted his skills with this mighty fish in the Louisiana marshes.
