This time of year its better to start later in the day and fish the warmer water periods later in the day. Fish appetites are meager on the cold mornings so don't get up as early. Also start fishing more soft plastics with scent added... reaction baits should be reserved for warming trends only now.
Fish like sheephead and trout become the main focus on colder periods. Keep track of water temps on every trip now so you can see what each species prefers and maximize your efforts.
For the balance of my report including the big trout and redfish action visit my website at www.captaincarichardson.com.
