Trip Summary

Had a good early morning winter bite run with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures. February mornings can be productive, and we headed out at first light to make the most of the cooler temperatures and calmer conditions. We focused on bottom fishing techniques using light tackle throughout the morning. The redfish were cooperative, and we managed to boat several. Bottom fishing proved effective in the deeper pockets. Light tackle made every hookup more engaging and gave each fish a fair chance to show what they had. We wrapped up the half-day trip with a solid box and good action all around. If you're looking to get on the water for some quality bay fishing, our 1/2 day Bay Fishing morning trips with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures deliver consistent results. Winter months offer excellent opportunities for redfish and speckled trout using proven techniques like bottom fishing, drift fishing, and light tackle approaches. These half-day morning charters give you prime fishing hours when fish are most active, and our local knowledge helps put you on productive water. Whether you're targeting redfish in shallow flats or working deeper structure for speckled trout, we've got the experience and equipment to make your trip successful. Book your next bay fishing adventure with us and experience what quality charter fishing is all about.
