This time of the year, the fish are transitioning from creeks to the flats.
Best thing to catch them is find mullet or bait.
If you find comorants diving there is most likely bait there.Try matching the hatch shrimp.Not necessarily big, small, pinfish, or cut baits
We're catching red fish trout flounder and sheepshead

Waters warming up pretty quick redfish is consistent as of now. Trout bite has been great the past few weeks. And we should start to expect some pompano soon.

Spring is coming soon, and love is in the air. Or the water. These sheep's heads are moving out to the oyster bars. And then to fifteen to thirty feet of water.
Best beats are fiddler, crabs, small shrimp sand flees and brined claws.
I prefer to use a fish finder rig with number 1 or 1/0 hooks and the bare minimum wait to hold it down.
If you see a bunch of fish come to the surface, the bite should be shortly after.
Also our shrouders are starting to move out to the mouths of the creeks and on...

Soft plastics on appropriately weighted jig heads work. The best, but a shrimp-tipped jig head will catch them, and you'll also get flounder and black drum...
If you'd like to see this firsthand book a trip.
With the cold cold temps. We're using live shrimp on on a jig head or a carolina rigg crawling them across the bottom, painfully slow.
Also, soft plastics on jigheads are catching large over slot trout and the occasional red fish

It's been pretty cold down here recently... but the sheep's head bite has still be consistent and the redfishing has been great post front when it warms up a little.

When the weather is warm, the trout and redfish are on the bars.Just outside of the mouth of the river, or in the mouths of deep creeks. My preferred method is shrimp on a jighead.
We're soft plastics call jighead.
We're also getting bonus sheepshead black drum and flounder.
Offshore, we have one more weekend of red. Snapper, open until june.The bite has been decent.
Live sardines and thread, fin herring work best, but frozen will get the job done.
Merry christmas!

Had an absolute blast last night! Captain Drew led a great trip, had a keen eye, and was super knowledgeable about all things fishing and outdoors. Very impressed, can't wait to go again.
We had a great time shark fishing with Captain Drew! Captain Chris was very accommodating when we realized we initially booked an excursion for the wrong day. Thank you!
TJ was as knowledgeable as any guide, he was talented at his craft and worked hard. He also was clear in his instructions and put me in the best position for my casting ability.
TJ also spent time instructing my fishing partner. He was a great conversationalist and was a pleasure to spend the day with. I will definitely schedule more trips with TJ.
Chris and his son Bear were great! They made sure we found plenty of scallops. Chris had the knowledge and equipment to make our trip a success! Would highly recommend!
Great captain Very good with my grandkids age 10 and twin 8 yr olds put us onto a lot of fish Highly recommend Captain Robert Boys had a great time 31 total keepers Mangroves, grunts and trout Catch a few reds but was just shorts
