I'm packing my bags for New Orleans, we leave on the

taking a minimal amount of fishing gear.

My dumb question is this, do redfish have teeth ? What
I'm really asking is do I need to take my Boga Grip or
can I lip these when (if) I get one next to the kayak ?


I think redfish have smooth mouths/lips, but powerful crushers inside
their mouth. These guys seem to think it's ok to lip fish.

Have a great trip. If you get a chance, Fly Fishing in Sal****er has an
article on redfish, fishing in LA......hope you're packing a 9-10wt. ;-)


Gawd, I hope you're kidding. I packed an old Sage RPL 690-4 based
on the advice I received from some of the guys here on roff. I was
going to pack a 9wt, the guide recommends a 9wt, but I trust Charlie
Choc and rdean is only mostly full of ****, not completely full of it.
No big deal either way, I'll either catch fish or I won't and the
choice of fly rod ain't going to have much to do with it.


True, true...the color of your redfish gloves will play into things
significantly...

HTH,
