Redfish fishing for Big Bulls off Orange Beach, Al with light spinning tackle

We are fishing for big bull redfish off Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama. This fishing is in nice calm waters 1-2 miles off the beach where the wind is blocked by the shoreline and condos. We are catching big redfish weighing from 17 to 35 pounds on light spinning tackle. Watch a big bull redfish attack a curly tail grub or a topwater lure. It is just awesome.
