Fishing Report: Cold Water Red Fishing – Big Fish Bite As the water temperatures dip and the winter chill settles in, the redfish bite is heating up, delivering some unforgettable action. Cold water red fishing is all about targeting trophy-sized reds that are congregating in deeper channels, mudflats, and warm shallows where baitfish gather. Weather and Water Conditions The recent cold front has dropped water temperatures significantly, pushing redfish into predictable patterns. With the sun shining on clear days, we’re seeing fish moving into shallower areas during the afternoons to soak up the warmth. The water is cleaner, which means stealth and precision are key for success. - Captain Austin
