Overall fishing has been fairly good even with the water temperature swings with every passing cold front. We have been catching larger fish when the water cools down. I have spent most of my time in the back bays west of Trinity. Live shrimp are still hard to beat drifting with a long leader in 5 to 8 foot of water. Soft plastics have been paying off also with ¼ or 1/8 oz jig head, Bass Assassins, D.O.A’s, and Down South paddle tails.
I have been starting off with dark colors early or on cloudy days and switching to lighter colors as the sun gets brighter or the clouds clear. Hopefully next month I will be reporting about throwing corkeys, soft dines and some catch and release big girls. If you are not into winter fishing using this time to get your boat and tackle ready can head off problems next spring, its right around the corner.
Tight lines,
