A little tip for winter fishing

I had some tough days on the water - cold fronts, wind and extreme low winter tides all affected the bite. I new the fish wouldn't be super active with the 58 degree water temperature, but I new they would have to eat sooner or later. I just kept moving, spending no more than 10 minutes at one location - no bite - I was outta there. It sometimes took awhile but we always seemed to find fish somewhere. Pompano were found on the grass flats, in passes and a few around docks. Small hook, small shrimp and a split shot jigged slowly triggered some nice bites. Same outcome with small buck tail jigs tipped with shrimp. The redfish, black drum and sheepshead were found around areas with structure. Docks and oyster beds were prime locations to snag a few hungry fish. With the exception of the redfish small shrimp work better - I do like to have some nice select shrimp on hand for the big reds. It's time to start the new year right - get out there and get fishin..
