The 2 most guranteed ways to catch redfish in MS or LA is fresh market shrimp or live minnows under a cork. It's like redfish crack. Also love the lsu vudu under a cork with a little vudu sauce. If I'm moving around covering water I like to throw a spinner bait or a chatter bait. If the water conditions are good and I'm pitching at wakes or sight fishing I like matrix green hornet on a jig head or slayer brand plastics. Slayer plastics have some really cool colors and they go heavy on the shiny flake and glitter. Most times I carry the shrimp for insurance. If I'm strictly targeting reds I'll throw plastic and if I'm not putting anything together I'll switch to market bait under a cork. Or if I'm fishing for reds in a short window I'll throw market bait under a cork.
