I ran across this video that you may find interesting.  I am planning a fall trip (hopefully) out of Georgetown, SC .  Although Redfish can be caught all year it seems that the fall provides some great action especially if looking for some bull reds.  Watch the video and you can see why my excitement level continues to increase daily.

Almost nothing fights harder than a big red!! To this day my biggest fish ever caught was a 36" red down in Florida on some cut bait. Took almost 45 mins to land and we thought we had hooked a small shark!

Sure hope you time it right Bud!

Hope you have a great time.
My PB is 40 inches, and it took about 25 minutes to bring in, from the pier on 91st street in Galveston.  Caught it on a half of a shrimp, and a 1/0 owner thin wire circle hook, almost straightened it out during the fight. 
Fall is the time that the reds head inshore, and winter in the bayous and creaks and such, then they will migrate out again in spring, both times are best for migrating fish.
We took only one picture of it, and my buddy had it lettered up, printed out and framed for my birthday, I then got the jpg to pass around the internet.

Bud, tks for sharing the video with us.  Have fun getting this trip planned out.  Jim that a big Red there.  Did you have a long net to get it onto the Dock?

Yes sir, Don, I have a pier/bridge net.  You actually suspend and control it by a rope, I use it all the time for the larger ones.  Mine has a metal ring attached to the bottom, that way it opens up when hung over, it also helps keep it kind of controllable in current or rough seas.
This is my old one, which didn't last long, I now have a heavier one, but dang if I can find a picture of it.
