[dropcap]H[/dropcap]O-HO-HO, is it really that time already? Where has the months gone by? Seems like just yesterday we discussing fishing the rigs and the wrecks. Well, the cold weather is finally moving in with consistency and the water temps have begun cooling down and the trout and reds are finally showing up in the rivers with some consistency. While the diving birds feeding on fleeing shrimp have not shown up like in the past, the trout and reds have. The deeper rivers are starting to hold hungry trout and reds. Throwing 3/8 oz jigheads bounced off the bottom with a grub is starting to reward anglers. As long as the water temps don’t drop anymore, some trout have been caught on the flats under a popping cork with a live shrimp. Rig a popping cork with a 2-3 ft leader and a treble hook for some good nonstop action. The reds have been showing up along the banks of the Blakely and Tensaw rivers. There have been some showing up under some diving pelicans and seagulls in the rivers themselves. So, gear up and go catch some good fishing before jolly ole St. Nick comes to visit. Remember to put some new fishing gear down on Santa’s list for that favorite angler. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
