Christmas 2020 was a cold one! Thursday and Friday night got below freezing (27 F). It started to warm up slowly and Monday was set to jump up to mid 60’s. I thought the bite would be on fire but we didn’t get even a nibble all day long. According to our sonar, water temp was high 50’s. We had live shrimp, mid minnows, artificials, found clear water, we worked docks and a few reliable spots, but nothin’. We should have tried sheepshead, but we were really hoping for trout Or redfish.
Just wondering if anyone caught anything the last few days, and what sort of structure, depth, and bait you were successful with. Would love to know if others got skunked as well. Fortunately, we caught some food shrimp with the cast net, otherwise it would have been a fruitless, albeit beautiful day.
Even if you didn’t go out recently, does anyone have any cold water tips? We’ve never been successful in cold water. I have a feeling we just don’t fish deep enough.
