Winter Redfish Madness!!!

Posted By: Capt. Tom | 2009-12-12

We've been having lots of cloudy, windy, rainy, and cold weather lately, BUT on the days when the weather has been nice the redfish have been suicidal!  I don't know what's got into these fish, but I like it.  Gangs of angry redfish crashing bait and lots of tails in the air have been a common sight on the rare "good" weather days.  These fish are still spread out pretty nicely, and have not gone into their mid-winter schooling behavior yet.  When the weather improves again, there should be some more gonzo days for sure.  The redfish have not been spooky or selective as far as flies or soft plastic baits.  So, if you want to get your redfish fix, now is the time!

Late November Redfishing

It’s Thanksgiving time and the great redfishing on the flats is giving me something to be very thankful for.  They’re standing on their heads early in the morning and on some days all the way through the afternoon.  The redfish have been gobbling up flies that imitate shrimp or very small crabs.  A spoon fly has deadly if the fish are really rooting in the mud!  It’s been almost too easy with spinning gear.  But, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been fun!  Soft plastics have been the ticket.  Although, a friend of mine is still catching reds and specks on topwater plugs.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving and be sure to give us a holler if you’re down here for the holidays!
