How to find a Redfin?
The places fish are found are called “structures”, for example, a submerged log, weed beds or rocky walls/boulders are perfect places to find fish homes. Fish seek these places out to school, for protection and also for ambush. You must first find the food source and the structures that hold the food source and then you will stand a good chance of catching fish. We suggest a sounder to identify submerged logs, boulders etc. or you can fish rock walls or little bays with plenty of sticks in them.
