SouthernWake Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Rain Rain and more rain seemed to summarize much of February but that didn't stop us from getting on the water. Trout - Still schooled up and varying their depth based on water temp. Overall most fish are coming in 5-10 ft of water at creek mouths as well as deeper areas near structure on creek bends. Smaller baits such as a finesse TRD or Slim Swimz with a more relaxed retrieve have been the ticket. Redfish - The fish are still schooled up and holding to their patterns. Schools are rarely leaving the same few hundred yards of shoreline and are holding on the same "lines" regardless of tide/water depth. The exception being on the sunny/warm days where I have found them floating in the shallow grass. Almost all of the fish I am catching are coming in under 3ft of water. Similar baits to those above have been working but when all else fails, cut bait gets the job done. Besides the regular shoreline flats another area to target these fish are back water pockets with pond drains. Near the drains is typically a deeper hole to hold the fish on low tides as well as having an outflow of warmer water as the ponds warm on sunny days. Fly Fishing - It has not been uncommon to see A LOT of fish on each trip with the sunny and calm wind days resembling fishing in an aquarium. The key has been stealthily getting ahead of the moving fish and let them find your fly with minimal movement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
