Been trying to catch red fish or any other good fish besides Catfish... What's the secret to getting other fish such as trout or red fish..etc?

Don't use shrimp everything in the ocean like shrimp especially catfish, use cut Lady fish, mullet or pinfish you will have a better chance of catching snook, red's, and something besides catfish..
Wish you luck, ๐ŸŽฃ๐ŸŽฃ๐ŸŽฃ

Try a white swim bait.
Or a artificial shrimp ( DOA shrimp 1/2 oz clear with silver specs) under a poppin Cork over the grass.
Those are my favorite trout rigs.

We haven't seen any Red tide in over a year and a half .
The fishing in the South end of the harbor has been very good many many 100 plus fish in the boat days.
All on artificials.

IMHO. the dolphins got that area worked over. Youโ€™ll need to work hard to catch them. Few & far between

You are right about the dolphins but the fish are there too.
The dolphins and the birds are there because the fish are there too.
In the morning I look for bird's.
After the bird's go I move to my regular spot's and work them until the dolphins get aggressive.
Then move to the next stop.
If the bird's and the dolphins are gone the are gone too neither one of them stay to far from an easy meal.
I've done very well down there this fall.
I'll get an update out around the 15th I'm out of town till Thursday and probably won't get out until the following week.

On the Halifax here in Ormond weโ€™re located in the middle of 2 inlets. Which are 48 miles Apart. That and the dolphins make it a huge factor

When I'm surf fishing and the catfish bite is on. I try 2 things. Only put bait on the top rig if my 2 rig setup. It helps to keep the bait off the bottom. If the cats still keep biting maybe move a 100 yards down the beach.
