I am new to the winter redfish sightcasting game. I know it’s basically low water fishing. I have found a couple schools and have caught a few but I have not been as productive as I would like. I’ve tried to find them way back in creeks at low water like I hear alot of people doing and can’t seem to find them. Just lookin for tips and tricks anyone is willing to offer. Just bought a new flats skiff so I’m trying to figure it out. Thanks!
nobody?
Another Saturday night…
I no longer live in Charleston but get down there frequently and do a lot of fishing. Winter time isn’t easy. I saw 15-20 fish this past weekend but none would eat. You’ve got to fish slow and find unpressured fish. Finding them can be the problem with less day light in my opinion. I generally have found them on shallow water flats in the winter versus in the backs of creeks. Not to say they are not there, but that is where I have found them. Bigger mud flats with oyster bars to heat up quicker than other areas.
I’d suggest ask the guys in LFS for some help!

yea that has definitely been my experience, almost always oysterbeds are in the equation when I have seen them. I just see videos and pictures of people in the backs of creeks or little creeks and have not had such luck.
A couple of thoughts… There is a low key fly fishing tournament coming up that I posted a week ago. I would invite you to participate as it is very inexpensive and we have a cookout of nothing but fly fishing enthusiasts eating oysters and fish and talking about the tournament, what worked and what didn’t and just enjoying it. Of course you don’t have to fish it just to get help so call me at the shop Monday and I’ll be happy to help.
