𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗙𝗜𝗦𝗛? 🐟📏

Have you ever caught a redfish and wondered just how old it was? 🤔

While the only way to determine a redfish's exact age is by reading its otoliths (ear bones), biologists can make estimated ages based on length. That's exactly what this chart shows!

A few things to remember:
✅ Growth rates vary by location.
✅ Water temperature, food availability, habitat, genetics, and s*x all play a role.
✅ These are estimated ages, not exact ages.

💡 Did you know?
Some redfish can live 40+ years, with a few documented approaching 60 years! That's why those giant bull reds are so special—they've survived decades of predators, storms, fishing pressure, and changing conditions.

🎣 QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What's the biggest redfish you've ever caught?
Drop the length (or a photo) in the comments! 👇 Let's see who has landed the oldest fish!

📲 Feel free to share this post with your fishing buddies so they can see how old their next catch might be!

𝗡𝗢 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚. 𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗣𝗢𝗡 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗢𝗡 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗘! 🔥🎣

I've seen a lot of people saying you have to boost your posts to get views.

The last 5 days have proven otherwise. 📈

Tarpon videos are what people want to watch right now, and Facebook is pushing them hard. When you post content people actually enjoy, the algorithm does the work for you.

No paid boost.
No gimmicks.
Just putting out quality fishing content consistently. 💪🐟

If you've been sitting on tarpon footage... POST IT! 🎥🔥

The migration is happening, people are watching, and now's the time to take advantage of it.

Who's been getting in on the tarpon action lately? 👇🎣

𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗗? 𝗪𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗠! 🌬️🎣🔥

Yesterday brought a WSW wind and it was definitely on the breezy side. 🌊💨 With the water temp sitting at 87°, we knew we'd have to adjust our game plan.

We bounced around to a few different spots, stayed patient, and it paid off. 🐟💪 We managed to put some snook on the line despite the conditions! Sometimes it's not about fishing your favorite spot... it's about finding the fish that want to eat. 🤙

Days like this remind you that adapting to the conditions is what separates a good day from a great one. Tight lines! 🎣☀️

🚨 NOTICE ALERT 🚨

I'm sure someone knows the captain. I was out getting some B-roll footage for a video today and happened to capture some pretty cool fly-fishing action. 🎣

If you were chartering today and would like the full video of your client casting at tarpon, I have it. Feel free to send me a message and I'll be happy to share it.
