The surface water temperature is 65 degrees, and water clarity = Good. Strong winds have forced us to adjust our tactics, so we have concentrated on marsh areas where we can get some protection.
This week the Redfish bite has been good around areas where good current flow has bait up against the shorelines/grass lines. Fish Smack Popping Corks and shrimp imitation lures have worked well with 12-18” leaders.
Our best trout bite has been on 1/8” jig heads with paddle tails fished extremely slow, almost to the point of dead sticking it, in deeper pockets, triggering the most strikes. Numerous color combinations worked this week, with Blue Moon being my preferred confidence color from Deadly Dudley.
Birds are still working on the main bay and schools of Redfish are grouped up under the birds when you can locate them and the wind allows it.
