The redfish are still schooled up on the flats and in the creeks, and the bite has been pretty consistent this week. With the cooler water temperatures, the incoming tide has definitely been the better bite.

At super low tide, I’ve been focusing on a few deeper creek holes. A ¼-oz jig head with shrimp or a paddle tail has been producing well. Let it bounce near the bottom and work it slow through the holes where the fish are stacked up.

Once the water gets too high in the creeks, I move back out to the flats and start sight fishing for redfish. A weedless jerk bait or paddle tail works great when you can see them cruising or pushing water across the grass.

The sheepshead and trout bite is still solid in the creek holes right now. The best setup has been a freelined shrimp on a 2/0 circle hook with a split shot. Just adjust the split shot depending on how fast the tide is moving so the bait stays near the bottom.

Overall, it’s been a good week of inshore fishing, especially if you time the incoming tide and work those low-tide creek holes.
