With the coldest air coming Christmas Eve day of 40° as high temperature and 20 to 30° low temperatures for the next 4 days is going to create some tough fishing conditions.
With all the new fishing charter businesses that opened in 2020 during Covid and being young and have not experienced fishing the cold Waters from Tarpon Springs to John’s Pass points in between such as St Joseph sound, Dunedin, Clearwater and Indian Rocks Beach, it will be time to fish deep for trout and redfish. Canals with warm moving water and docks with structure whether it be boats that have lots of barnacles or the docs themselves with lots of growth will be holding Predator fish such as redfish, snook , sheep, blackdrum having live shrimp or fiddler crabs and artificials will be the main baits to be productive.
So higher a captain like myself that has 40+yes and has dealt with extreme cold water to have a successful day and have a great time with plenty of memories.
