Redfish
The waters around Sneads Ferry offer exceptional redfish angling, from the New River to the expansive marsh systems. Spring and fall are prime times to target these bronze beauties, as they patrol the shallows in search of food. Focus your efforts around oyster beds, grass flats, and creek mouths, especially during moving tides. Natural presentations often work best; try using live shrimp or mud minnows under a popping cork, or cast artificial lures like gold spoons or soft plastics. A handy tip: utilize the public boat ramp at the end of Fulcher Landing Road for quick access to the New River. The redfish population in this area is known for its healthy size and abundance, making it a popular destination for anglers of all skill levels. Remember to check local regulations regarding slot limits and catch limits.
