How can I maximize my chances of finding a Bull Red in Nov-Dec near Rockport? My first bay fishing trip, as much as I hated it, my guides were very professional and didn’t keep three borderline keeper Redfish. I got a keeper black drum and two speckleds, but I’m craving more. How can I maximize my chances of getting a Bull red if I go back? First time bay fishing ever, but I’ve gathered that they are an edge-oriented fish and I know how to catch A REDFISH, not a BIG redfish. Any tips?

Alright, you’re chasing a true edge-hunter here. Bulls in Rockport’s bays are all about the channel edges, bait schools, and feeding windows that line up with tides and fronts. Here’s a practical, edge-oriented plan to stack the odds in your favor.
