What to expect on a trip with Red Chaser Charters
|
Sight fishing for redfish and other species is what we do. Therefore, our motto, "See the fish, Catch the fish", is our main objective. It is mostly visual stalking and making presentations to the fish. This is what makes it so special and a trip to remember. We sight fish with fly and casting tackle, so our motto is prevalent no matter how you like to fish! However, if the weather is not cooperating to sight fish, we can find fish other ways.
