The truth is – fish MOVE!

They won’t be in spring, summer, or fall fishing spots.

You’ve got to look elsewhere to hop on a bite!

Wintertime Strategies To Reel In More Speckled Trout [VIDEO]

Click here to see how to catch big trout and redfish on shallow flats in the winter.

Tackle Mentioned:

• The 2.0 Paddletail
• Rapala X-Rap Twitchbait
• MirrOdine Suspending Twitchbait
• The Prawn Junior Shrimp Lure
• Paul Brown Fat Boy Pro
• The Mulligan Paddletail

If you’re not focusing your attention on the backwater creeks, then you’re going to miss out on the trout bite.

Speckled trout need to feel comfortable and have a sustained food source nearby.

This is exactly what the backwater creeks provide.

Their heavy diet of finfish slows down and they focus their attention on shrimp and crustaceans.

Crustaceans and shrimp hatch in the backwater creeks.

During warming trends, trout will sit in shallow water and actively feed.

When a cold front sweeps through the area, they’ll head for deeper pockets of water where temperatures are a bit more stable.

The post GATOR TROUT (in the Fall) appeared first on Salt Strong Fishing Club.

Have you ever fished a trout mud or a mullet mud?

It’s when a MASSIVE school of trout and/or mullet come through a shallow area (like a flat) and create so much movement that the bottom stirs up a huge muddy zone.

Some of these trout muds are larger than a football field and are loaded with fish.

Listen in as we share how to fish a trout mud (and how not to fish a trout mud).

It is a common goal for inshore anglers to set out and reel in an inshore slam.

In the video below, I’ll show you how you can use Smart Fishing Spots to find areas that hold all 3 species so you can come up with an inshore slam on your next trip out.

Take a look!!

Best Areas To Look For When Targeting Redfish, Seatrout, & Snook [VIDEO]

Gear Mentioned In The Video:

• Slam Shady 2.0 Paddletail
• Gold Digger Paddletail
• Hoss Football Jighead
• Hoss Helix Hooks

Smart Fishing Spots is exclusive software we developed for our Insider Members as a useful resource to find quality spots and effectively pre-plan fishing trips.

Insiders also use the platform while on the water to find new spots or gather more intel if things changed once they got to their pre-selected spot.

Right off the bat, you’ll notice we have a ton of different features and buttons under the Map Layers section.

Oyster Beds and Seagrass are a click away and will populate on the map instantly.

We also have a feature called Smart Spots that provides ideal fishing spots for your area based on the tide, weather, and other factors.

These resources help you narrow down where you should fish based on the species you’re after.

Speckled Seatrout

When targeting seatrout, the main areas to focus on are out on the grass flats in 1.5 to 3 feet of water.

When the tide moves out, you should move a bit further out to deeper sections of the flat.

Areas with potholes and broken bottom structure are ideal zones for trout.

Snook

When I’m fishing for snook, I like to fish chokepoints or areas with moving current.

Spots in between islands or oyster beds paired with a deep trough and moving current are examples of quality snook spots.

Chokepoints in the middle of two islands or points are also noteworthy areas for targeting snook.

Something else to keep in mind is the water level and if there are mangroves in the area.

If the water is pushed into the mangroves, snook will often sit in cut-outs in the mangroves.

Pitching lures into these areas is a great way to spark a bite.

Redfish

Redfish will likely be pushed up into muddy coves and they’ll often be close to the bottom.

They are scavengers that cruise muddy areas in search of crabs, shellfish, snails, or clams to eat.

Unlike trout and snook both of which are ambush predators.

Backwater coves of 1-2 feet depending on the tide are ideal zones for redfish.

Lure Selection

It can be a hassle to have to switch lures based on the species you are targeting.

If you want a lure that appeals to all 3 species mentioned, then go with a paddletail lure.

Any of our 3.5-inch Slam Series Paddletails work year-round and trigger strikes from seatrout, snook, redfish, and plenty more species.

As far as color choice, I would go with the lighter Slam Shady color if the water is clean.

Or if the tide is moving out and the water is dirty, I recommend fishing with the Gold Digger lure color which is black with gold flake.

Gold works really well in dirty water because it does not require as much light as other colors to flash.

The hooks I rig these lures up on depends on where I’m fishing.

If I’m out fishing an open flat of more than 3-4 feet deep, I’ll use a jighead.

If I’m fishing close to structure like mangroves or oysters, I recommend a weedless rigging hook.

Our 3/0 Hoss Helix Hook weighing 1/8oz. is all-purpose and shines in shallow water near structure.

Salt Strong Insider Club

Keep in mind, the areas I highlighted in this video are just examples of the types of areas you should look for when targeting redfish, seatrout, or snook.

Spots are not the only way to catch fish.

Other factors like wind direction, tidal flow, time of the day, and seasons all come into play when inshore saltwater fishing.

This is where we most often see anglers struggle – putting all of these variables together to effectively hit the water and find fish.

This is what we do here at Salt Strong.

We give our members the resources and tools they need to consistently find and catch more fish in less time while saving money.

Smart Fishing Spots, Smart Fishing Tides, Mastery Courses, and Tackle Discounts are just the tip of the iceberg.

If you aren’t catching the quantity or quality of fish you want, then think about joining us in the Insider Club.

Or are you not catching as many fish as you deserve?

Getting your lures or bait out to where the fish are is a major step toward having on-the-water success, but some anglers have been going about it the wrong way.

Here’s how to cast with maximum efficiency so you can catch MORE fish in LESS time!!

Cast With Maximum Efficiency To Catch More Fish [VIDEO]

Casting Lures VS. Live Bait Lesson

3rd Floor Balcony Snook (Dart Cast Example)

If you’re fishing an open flat, marsh creeks, or anything in between, it is all about getting your lures out and covering as much water as possible.

Every second your lure is OUT of the water is time lost in the strike zone.

The goal here is to be as efficient as possible.

With this approach, we’re not so much concerned with accuracy as we are just getting the lure out quickly to cover ground.

After each retrieve, snap the bail open and grab the line as normal, then choke up a bit with your bottom hand to quickly launch the lure back out there without any wasted motion.

The key is to generate tip speed which ultimately dictates how far the lure goes.

You may not cast as accurately while choking up, but there is no wasted motion and you will cover all of the water in front of you.

If you’re in a tournament or out casting all day long, this slight adjustment goes a long way.

Especially when fishing an open flat, whoever can cover the most water will find and catch the most fish.

If you want to increase the number of strikes you get on an open flat, then practice this efficiency technique.
