Redfish are starting to feed on a more consistant basis with the migrating finger mullet seen throughout the channels and in Mosquito Lagoon. Last weeks windy conditions really triggered fish to feed once it stopped blowing over 20 knots. Try tossing mullet or ladyfish chunks in sandholes with clean water. If you locate clean water your bound to find singled up reds cruising the flat. Jerkbaits such as the Rip Tide Flats Chub in the new penny color are also drawing some awesome strikes.
Spotted sea trout are closed in our area till January first so the best thing to do is not target these fish as there's a good chance you will harm them by touching them or even putting them in your boat. Trout are very delicate and should be avoided during the closed season.
Snook are slowly moving into the deeper waters of the ICW around docks at night. Also remember snook season closes from December 15th through January 31st so as this approaches, try to target other species. As of now, a pinfish drifted in the current with a small split shot and 2 feet of 20-30 pound test leader will be the ticket.
As always if you have any questions feel free to contact me at anytime.
