We had some extremely cold water last month but the redfishing was still excellent most days. The majority of the fish are in schools of 10-200 fish. Stealth is extremely important. I watched hundreds and hundreds of fish last month spooked by squeaky shoes or footsteps on the deck. We can never control how the fish will bite but we can always control our approach and presentation.
Cold fish have a slower metabolism and will be easier to feed with small lures or flies. Work lures slowly keeping them on our near the bottom. Over sandy bottom, try a 3" paddle tail CAL on a jighead. On the grass flats, the DOA shrimp is your best bet. If you try a variety of lures but the fish do not seem to be eating, move to a different location. You will often find fish acting totally different on various flats.
