For Kenny: Redfish are caught most days. Florida has a 18-27 inch slot limit. this means the fish has to be between 18 and 27 inches to keep. Most of the reds here are way over the limit and are safely returned to the gulf. For the larger ones recommend a 7 1/2 to 9 foot spinning rod and a reel holding 285-325+ of 20. As always the better the fisher the lighter the tackle.
