Reds in winter
Posted: January 4th, 2009, 7:46 pm
Hey everyone. I found this site about two weeks ago and decided to sign up. Lots of good info.
I have lived in Lynn Haven for about 6 years now and have exclusively fished in spring and summer but now want to try winter fishing. In reading this forum it looks like I need to head up creeks for the trout but I am not sure about the reds.
I have several spots over in East Bay I have found over the years that I can always catch reds in the spring and summer. I say always, really more like 80%. Nothing special about these spots, just some nice grass on the shore that extends out into the water and the reds are usually there. Is there any chance these reds will still be in these same spots in winter or will they also be seeking warmer water in creeks, etc.? I don't get to fish very often, maybe twice per month so each fishing day is very valuable, don't want to waste the day running to these spots if it is going to be a complete waste of time.
