I guess the redfish didn’t get the memo. It’s winter time, which means it’s big trout season. I stopped targeting redfish over a month ago, and for some reason, I just can’t seem to keep them off my hooks...Lately, it seems as if the redfish have taken residence in places where their not welcome. Sort of like when you were in college and a friend showed up needing a place to crash for the night and ends up sleeping on your couch for weeks acting as if he pays rent. Or when...
I hit the water a few times last week and over weekend and the fishing has been fair. There are plenty of redfish stacked up in traditional winter trout holes and prowling drop-offs near oyster reefs. Multiple limits of mid-slot reds have have been a regular occurrence but we have been catching a few trout in the mix. The trout we have been catching are solid fish in the 3 – 5.5lb range. Water clarity has varied from slightly stained to extremely clear, but morning glory has been my go to color regardless. The main forage right now is mullet and a morning glory paddle tail is a great imitator. The morning tides have been outgoing and vice versa for the evening tides. The water levels have been below normal but by now the water should be back up. Winds have been all over the place, high and low and out of nearly every direction, but the fish haven’t seemed to be effected.
