 Well, looks like we are about mid way through Winter, and I have to say the fishing has been really fantastic so far. The Reds are in their normal Winter time patterns for January/February. They are schooled up in big numbers in certain spots trying to stay warm and safe. I'm seeing schools of anywhere from 30 fish to 300 fish at a time. Some times they are floating so close to the surface that their backs and dorsal fins are all out of the water at the same time...what a sight to see! We've had some really clear water this winter and it has made for some fantastic sight casting to these fish both on fly and on spinning gear. There are some small rat reds around (which is a good thing because they'll be keepers this coming fall) but I am seeing a lot of upper slot reds in the 24-27" range, with some being over the slot. Now is a seriously good time to get down here and see what the winter time fishery is all about. I recently wrote an essay for Marsh Wear Clothing, giving my spin on catching redfish this time of year. They also included a video clip of me casting to a school of 50+ Redfish this Winter. Check it out, and take a look at the great line of clothing they sell while you're there... http://www.marshwearclothing.com/blogs/news
