JohnnyBigger Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 What I want to know is after a cold front, where will the redfish and trout be, and do the shut down like a bass. also types of baits to try early and mid day. I live in Florida and I will be going on saturday out of bayport by weekie wachee, so any advice would help. Quote
CookieMonst3r Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Early morning, trout will be shallow on flats in sand holes. When the sun rises redfish will be on a flat. Topwaters work great. Or a weightless gulp shrimp depending on the water depth. Quote
kikstand454 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 also.. this time of year your trout and reds may be up in your spring fed creeks or rivers seeking warmth. try to find a deeper hole in the creek and soak a shrimp on the bottom for reds, or a 1/4oz jig and gulp shrimp swam through for trout.

microman Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 trout are a cold water species, so a cold front will only make them go a little deeper, red fish will slow down alot. Quote

Cold water species? No. They are typically better eating in Winter because they don't have worms. But they are definitely a warm or pretty warm water fish, just look at their range. It's the southeast. Quote

Big Lee Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 also.. this time of year your trout and reds may be up in your spring fed creeks or rivers seeking warmth. try to find a deeper hole in the creek and soak a shrimp on the bottom for reds, or a 1/4oz jig and gulp shrimp swam through for trout. Dont know about spring fed creeks, but find the deeper dropoffs in the creeks that form in the bends of the creek is a good bet, shrimp, jigs, jerkbait for the trout, just depends on what they want that day. In the real cold water those shallow flats when the sun is high is a redfish heaven. Quote
