For many years many anglers looked forward to wade fishing in the colder weather. Well this has been a challenge this winter. Temperatures are all over the place so tracking or following the normal winter pattern has been a challenge. What I have done is switch to wade some n drift some depending on water temperature. I also look for ledges n structure that’s been the key for me as well as off color water. And as anyone would say look for bait moving.
We have also tossed corkies from the boat constantly changing our retrieve to find the strike zone. I have also tossed them by old piers, casting and letting it drop retrieving with a slower twitch. Another good lure I have caught them is on Down South Lures on 1/8 ounce jig for a slower fall. The great thing about tossing DSL is that the tail is always moving regardless of the drop so this will get you a reactive strike. Some of my customers have had difficulty feeling the bite due to most of the bite has been real soft on both baits. The key is keep your line tight and when you feel the weight set the hook. Just remember you cannot catch or learn on the couch.
If you are in the Galveston Area and want to book a trip give me a ring and let’s get out there.
Remember to send in your pictures for the brag board, see you on the water.
