Atlantic Coast Inshore
Well I’d like to hope December will bring some cold fronts, but we will have to see since November felt like June. Coming into the winter months when water temperatures drop, targeting areas that warm quickly like docks, mangroves and potholes will be the best bet. We do a lot of sight fishing this time of year when the water clears and finding pot holes is a breeze. Standing in a kayak drifting a flat is a great way to see your targets. Not all kayaks are stable enough to stand in if fished stock from the store. There are a couple companies that offer outriggers that can be rigged to most yaks to help with stability.

Winter month opportunities in the kayak are always weather dependent.
If there is a day where the seas allow you to get out, take advantage of it. Sailfish, Mahi, Kings and Wahoo should be your targets. As usual goggle eyes and blue runners will be your best options. Keeping live bait in a kayak is easier than most people think. All you need is a 5 gallon bucket and an aerator to keep 6 baits healthy. The normal depths should be strong this time of year. Try trolling by zig zagging 90-150’. Finally don’t forget your flag or another type of visual device to keep yourself seen between the waves.
