Introduction

Welcome to the Webinar + Slides

Welcome to the webinar, thank you for attending, and understand my number one goal.

Why the Big Picture?

We anglers we must look at the bigger picture so we know where, when and how to fish. Failing to do so is the equivalent of playing football without paying attention where other players are.

When Does the Winter Pattern Begin?

Generally speaking, the winter pattern kicks off when the water temperature stabilizes around this specific temperature.

Weather Patterns, Forage and Fish Location

Winter’s Dominant Weather Pattern

Let’s take a look at the dominant weather pattern of winter, and how it affects the marsh.

How Forage is Affected

How does winter’s weather affect baitfish? Where will they go? What will they do?

How Specks and Reds are Affected

Now that we know what happens to the marsh and bait, we have a clear idea what happens to our target species.

Where to Find Specks and Reds

Based upon the bigger picture we’ve painted so far, this is where to begin looking for speckled trout and redfish.

Brief Rant on “Deep or Shallow” Question

This has more to do with angler’s mindset than it does winter fishing patterns, but it’s spot on and important to know!

When to Find Specks and Reds

Just as important as where, we go over when we find our target species.
