Jacks are back to their normal feeding frenzies and sheepshead are all over the flats.
If we continue to see normal winter weather patterns, the action should only improve. The best opportunities will be from a day or two after a front passes, and the winds calm, until just before the next one comes through. There was no shortage of redfish and larger trout on the flats two weeks ago, they were just too cold to eat. Now that they're getting their appetites back, keep in mind that the water is still cold. A slow, delicate presentation will result in more hook-ups.
