December is behind us and January is starting off on the right track as the weather warms up to more seasonable temps so will the water temperatures. Fishing should start to pick up as well giving great opportunity to fish for the old fanged tooth spotted sea trout that came back in season January 1st. While chasing the trout there should be plenty of opportunity to stalk my favorite inshore species the Redfish. This all can be done using light tackle on live, cut and artificial baits. I do prefer using shrimp under a cork, or on the bottom rigging Texas style, or using cut bait when the water temperatures are below 65. As of December 31st Lemon Bay water temps ranged from 57-60.5. Having a couple warm days and mild nights it should bounce back in the mid 60s and that means fish on!! January also boasts a great time to take the family on a lemon bay sight seeing eco trip . With our eagles nesting, plenty of dolphins, and an abundant amount of birds grab the camera and enjoy nature at its finest.
