If your New Year’s resolution is to have fun, come fishing for Redfish and Trout. Trout won’t say no to any type of bait, whether it’s live or artificial.

Fishing opportunities are consistent throughout winter, so your best chances are still Redfish and Speckled Trout. Drift fishing should do the trick.

In April, you’ll notice more Flounder in the area. It’s common to catch them while drift fishing, but you should try the Texan specialty – Flounder gigging at night!

If you’re going towards the Gulf, you’ll have a good chance of catching Mackerel and different types of Sharks. Fishing in the bay still hasn’t hit its peak season.

Even though this is peak season for fishing in the Gulf, staying in the bay also brings lots of great action, where you can target Redfish, Black Drum, Specks, or Flounder.

If you want to avoid being on the water during the hottest month, try fishing from shore. This is a great way to target the same inshore species from a different angle.

This is the beginning of peak season for Redfish and Speckled Trout! Once you catch them, go for Flounder – there aren’t as many but they are always easy to catch.

Have you tried catching Sheepshead yet? They’re fun to target because they aren’t so easily fooled! They’ll nibble the bait and loosen it up, but won’t bite immediately.

This is the best time of year to go after an Inshore Grand Slam. Redfish, Flounder, and Speckled Trout are only a few hard pulls away!

You can still catch them all – the Big Three of Trinity Bay are at their peak and you’ll find them easily. But you’ll need to put in a bit more effort to catch them.

While other fish species lie low in December, Trout and Redfish are still present in good numbers. Try drift fishing, or switch to spinning.
