Cold Redfish & Family Edition Fishing Report
Braved the cold with a tough-as-nails family of three who clearly didn’t read the part of the forecast that said “why are you even outside?” ? Temps were low, spirits were high, and the redfish were acting like they’d hit the snooze button one too many times.
The bite was slow and deliberate—classic cold-water reds. No chasing, no sprinting, just that subtle “hey… something’s wrong with this bait” thump. Once we cracked the code, it was steady action with quality fish that looked like they’d been bench-pressing oysters all winter.
