In certain areas I fish, the reds gang up in bunches or scatter out in the connecting ponds/bays. This year we've been getting Goliaths in the usual spots we see reds, in years past I thought I was blowing big oversize redfish out of the potholes but this year so far after slowing it down even further I discovered that I may have been spooking Goliaths. We managed a few so far and they are awesome to sightfish and are like redfish on steroids when fighting in the shallows. I know they primarily feed on crabs and smaller fish like goatfish, blowfish, and burrfish according to the FWC website on them but could it be possible they are eating those same redfish that are usually there but gone this year?
