I have nothing against Wintertime fishing but I’m sure glad it’s over! Cold water temps can put fish in a weird state of mind where they will not want to eat your usual offerings. Don’t get me wrong, Wintertime fishing is really good, but it’s nothing like Spring time, you don’t have to fish in bulky jackets and the fish are chasing down your lures/flies like it’s their last meal. Today I had had Dominic join me to scout around for some trips I have lined up. The Redfish were moving around in big schools and the Sea Trout were all over the flats thanks to the warm temperatures that we’ve been having this week. I’ve been fishing these same fish about a month ago, they drove me crazy seeing them but not catching them. Todays high of 78 degrees and calm winds made it a different story.
Also, I was at a store in the crafts department and came across some cool looking googly eyes that I thought would work on some baitfish patterns. These eyes actually make a good rattling sound and the crazy movements are sure to drive the fish nuts(that’s if they even notice them)but they sure do look cool! I think I bought this pack for 97 cents, I tied one up using these eyes last night….fish seem to like em!
