Deep Sea Fishing For Redfish In Maine

The redfish, also known in some parts as red drum, became important commercially in the mid-twentieth century, particularly off the Atlantic coast of Canada and Maine, where the species is found in relative abundance. The quality of their meat and their magnificent appearance also makes the redfish particularly appealing to anglers, and whilst they are not known for putting up much of a fight, continue to be a particular favorite amongst deep sea fishermen.

As the name suggests, the redfish is best known for its brightly colored appearance, typically ranging anywhere from orange to scarlet or flame red. Redfish have long, flat bodies and large eyes, giving them a similar appearance to perch hence are also known as ocean perch. Their mouths are lined with small, sharp teeth, and their jaws have a bony protrusion which distinguishes them from other similar species. Their appearance is completed by the presence of a single dorsal fin that runs most the length of its body and a comparatively small tail fin. The majority of adult redfish off the coast of Maine are anywhere between fifteen and twenty inches in length, though the occasional larger fish does exist.

Redfish are known as a deep water fish, with a range anywhere between one hundred and five hundred meters. They prefer rough ground, so the aim to fish near underwater disturbances such as shelves and ledges. Redfish typically inhabit cool water, though are known to venture into shallower waters in particularly cold winter months. Known fishing spots for redfish include the Gulf Maine and the southern edge of Georges Bank.

The diet of the redfish consists mainly of invertebrates and small fish, and as a result can be caught using almost any bait. Popular choices include worms, shrimp, herring, minnows, maggots and crayfish. Artificial baits and lures can also be used, as too can flies. A medium action rod coupled with a fifteen to twenty pound test line is more than adequate for landing the majority redfish.

Once hooked, redfish are not renowned for their fighting strength, making them an ideal target for young and experienced anglers as well as seasoned veterans looking to land a trophy redfish. Due to their abundance, popularity and ease of fishing, redfish are typically a targeted fish for chartered trips.

Waiting, Sitting, Fishing and Some Automobiles Los Angeles (Photographs of)
The photographs in this book are drawn from four bodies of work made with the 5 x 7 camera between 1979 and 1983. Broadly speaking, it shows as Lewis Baltz said, people waiting and taking very, very humble recreations. The four image groups making up the book are people waiting at bus stops, people lunching or sitting in public spaces, people at public fishing areas, and automobile repair shops. There are two primary elements in these photographs. They might be characterized as the visible and the invisible or the depicted and the inferred. The depicted might be considered the lighter side to Hernandezs imagery the city itself the inferred the darker its social realities. And in this his work mirrors Los Angeles, a city of light and shadow, a city that promotes vigorously an image of sun and Hollywood glamour, yet is arguably the most socially divided city in America, a sunny city with a dark heart.
