With warming water temperatures and steady tides, the redfish are in full feeding mode. Early mornings have been prime for topwater action, with Reds crushing Zara Spooks and MirrOlure Top Dogs over shallow flats. As the sun gets higher, we’ve been switching to paddle tails in gold, root beer, and new penny, rigged on 1/8 to 1/4 oz jigheads for sight-casting fish cruising the oyster bars and creek mouths.

Tannic Water Adventures have reported successful sight fishing for redfish, especially during flood tides in grassy areas and low tides around mud flats. The cooler water clarity enhances visibility, making a stealthy approach and the use of finesse presentations, such as soft plastics or live shrimp, particularly effective. As waters continue to warm, redfish are expected to gravitate towards deeper structures and docks. In addition to redfish, other species like black drum, sheepshead, and speckled trout are actively biting. Anglers targeting the jetties with fiddler crabs and live shrimp have reported catching keeper-sized sheepshead, with some individuals weighing up to...

Despite the Cold Weather Despite the weather being alittle chilly on some days the fishing has been pretty good. We have been getting some really nice redfish and speckled trout. On the days the weather was not freezing and we were able to get on the water the fish were willing to bite. Getting live shrimp has been challangingdue to the water temps, but mud minnows have worked just fine. Using the floating cork over structure has worked well. Also have been using a 1/4 ounce jighead on the bottom aslo produced.

    Best fishing trip ever. Everything was taken care of. All we had to do was catch the fish! We got a little bit of a history tour as well. If we hit a spot with no luck, we kept moving until we did. My family will most definitely be back, hopefully in the fall.

    We had an absolutely amazing day on the water! Captain Charlie was the best—he put us on some really big fish and made the whole experience one we’ll never forget. made lots of wonderful memories, and truly enjoyed every minute of the day. His Southern hospitality, manners, and professionalism were spot on. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers having a great time. If you’re looking for an incredible fishing experience with a great captain, I highly recommend him. We’ll definitely be back!
