Redfish have been scarce on elevated tides and now the water is falling out leaving a reddish glow as schools fallout of the woodwork. That and a nickel didn't buy a cup of coffee though as they went tight lipped on all approaches. Capt. Chris Cady said at one point it was just "stupid" as he eased into 20 solids and couldn't raise a bite.
So the fish are acting like it's Spring time hanging out in February and March haunts riding bands of salinity and crushing bait and lures alike. Bait and predators are huddled up in close quarters and that's got the makings for some explosive fishing. Historically artificial approaches wane this time of year but not "this year".
Fishing continues strong as freshwater inflows flush the fishery and consolidate bait and predators alike. We haven't somehow "produced" a bunch of Trout relative to last year. However, they can no longer be spread to the four corners of our bay sytems and that's the difference between hyper salinated versus fresh eco systems.
We pushed through the weather to big rewards for guests that "believe we have some idea what we're doing" when it comes to judging the weather forecast and fishing around any realities that come with it. Lots of twists and curve balls of late along with rapidly changing conditions and adjustments on the fly of late.
