Default Where would you go to catch a tagged redfish at BL
Just wondering where you think would be a good place to try?

Knowing the little I do know, I think the weirs would hold the largest population of reds feasting on shrimp & bait coming out of the marsh.

Maybe the jetties?

The jetties would be unlikely, as they would be much more likely to tag smaller reds than bulls, and most of the contests try and steer anglers away from bull reds.

They try to tag smaller reds usally around 19inchs so they don't move much. They catch them on rod and reel, tag them, then release them right there. Most tagged reds are caught within a few hundred yards of where they were tagged. LNG, moss lake, haymark, and prien lake would be your best chances.
