Winter fishing can present challenges for anglers along the Space Coast as the severe cold and wind may limit accessibility to the wide-open shallow grass flats. In a typical winter week, we’ll have three or four prime days where we can fish anywhere and three or four inclement days where we must fish canals, rivers, creeks and leeward sides of spoil islands. During the prime days, winter fishing can be spectacular for redfish, black drum and trout. These charters are well documented by the many great stories chronicled in our fishing reports. During the inclement days, we’ll catch a wider variety of smaller fish in greater numbers. In short, we’ll adapt to whatever weather presents us, catch fish and create great memories. (Pictured below is a photo from winter flats fishing followed by a pair of photos from winter canal fishing.)
