As fishermen, we need to be ready to face a variety of weather conditions because it’s impossible to plan trips around nice weather.
One condition that we really need to be ready to handle is the wind because we’ll have to face it frequently wether we want to or not.
Fortunately, the days with high winds can actually be very productive if the right strategies and tactics are used.
This new video highlights some helpful tips for using live shrimp up in the shallows for redfish, seatrout, black drum, flounder, etc. on windy days:

What line are you using? Float tied to braid?
I think Taylor was using a 20lb power pro tied directly to popping cork
Correct! 20lb PowerPro directly to the cork.
Hey guys! Thanks for the awesome tips! However I do have a question… we’re fishing in SE Louisiana (delacroix/shell beach area) where live shrimp are non existent at the moment( due to the hard freeze that rolled through here a few weeks ago and killed the live shrimp off) any suggestions on using frozen shrimp or even gulp shrimp? Or should this same approach work using those baits?
This same approach will work, even when using artificially! Gulp Shrimp will work, but I’ve also had really good results using the Power Prawn under a popping cork! I actually put a video out using it this past week if you’d like to check it out:

Is that a Legend Popping Cork?
Negative, it’s a Bomber “Paradise Popper” !
The Paradise Popper has a piece of metal that goes through the cork, the Legend Popping Cork is what’s used in the video. No metal going through it and it’s got the brand name on the side!
My apologies, I thought I was commenting on this video I also published this week:

The one used in the video for this post is indeed a Legend Popping Cork!
Our comment notifications all come in one place, and I try to always respond quickly, but sometimes I get mixed up!
My apologies!
I thought it was a Legend too.
Great video…..short, compact and straight to the key point(s)! Appreciate the shorter videos, when you can.
Thanks Stu! Glad you enjoyed it! I try to keep it concise and packed with info!
I like the shorter videos too.
Agree
Thank you as well Richard!
That’s Wyatt and Capt. I just came in from the garage rigging for tomorrow’s charter and set up two rods just like that. Now, to find the wind blown dirty water shoreline!
Nice!!! Can’t wait to see the awesome report Capt. Thom!! Hope you slay it out there!
What a day, Taylor Czar is NO JOKE guys, Wyatt and I were on the fish all day! If you are an insider and looking for a guide in the Corpus Christi/Port Aransas/Rockport area and need a guide, there is no better! Make sure to book him!
That’s the truth! Capt. Czar is the man!
I linked his charter in the post above for anyone who’s interested in booking a trip with him, but here’s a link if you missed it:
