re: Tips for saltwater fishing in the winter

A lot of people seem to forget that what is cold to us is nto as cold to fish. Yes, when the water temp is low (mid to low 50's and less) they go deep.
But if temps are mid 50s and up, they move out onto flats and you'll catch them in 4-6 feet of water under a cork. we caught a 3 man limit of specs like this 2 weeks ago.
Last weekend, on Saturday, we caught a bunch of bass and reds in about 4 feet of water, in very small cuts, just slow reeling soft plastics. Water was actually pretty warm, which the air was not.

Either Boudreaux Canal, Robinson Canal, side of road by Rabbit Bayou, Sevin Canal or Coco Marina and work my way north. Haven't decided. Depends on the weather. Where do you launch?

I launch at Coco and head north. They only charge $5 for kayaks and half the time they aren't there to collect. Caught 12 reds day after Thanksgiving but water was so low I couldn't get to any speck holes. I typically catch a couple flounder around there too.

Saturday looks to be warm. Rainy, but warm.

I can deal with a little rain, but the cold I can't do, especially in a yak.

The day after Thanksgiving I had ice on my yak when I woke up. It was cold and pretty windy, but it wasn't bad at all. I had a couple layers on under my rain gear and I stayed dry. Hell, I even wore crocs.
You actually stay warmer on a yak than a "real" boat because you never go faster than 5 mpg and you can stay out of the wind a little sitting right on top the water.

Interesting method of determining speed. Is that water or beer?

I lol'd. I need to go buy some real good rain and thermal gear.
