By the end of the month, most of our redfish population will be prepared for the upcoming colder months. Finger mullet have been feasted on and as they move out of our inlets, redfish will look more to crustations over live baitfish.
I like to fish live jumbo shrimp or soft plastic Rip Tide baits during the cooler months working the backwaters of Mosquito Lagoon. Reds will gather up in good size schools making sightfishing them in the Lagoons' clear water a main focus for most anglers. As the water gets colder, slow down your presentation and downsize your artificials. During the summer months for example I'll go with a 4 inch Rip Tide mullet plastic, and in the winter months go with the 3 inch. This works!!
