Uncommon Redfish & Trout Pattern Few Know About
- By: Joseph Simonds

In winter, most anglers blame their lack of success on “tough conditions”…
But really, it’s because they DON’T UNDERSTAND THE PATTERN.
Once you master this winter pattern, redfish and trout become very PREDICTABLE.
Luke and I break down this simple winter trend so you can go out and have great days no matter the temps…
Learn the most important winter redfish and trout pattern below.

Key Takeaways:
- Winter makes fish do one predictable thing that most anglers never account for.
- If you keep fishing the same places you fish in warm weather, winter will keep humbling you.
- There is one simple reason some winter trips feel impossible and others feel effortless.
- The biggest winter advantage is not your lure, your rod, or your timing.
- One small location detail determines whether you get bites or waste an entire tide.
- Once you see this, you will look at winter water completely differently.
Final Thoughts:
Winter does not reward covering more water or fishing harder. It rewards anglers who understand how fish reposition and why certain areas become high-percentage zones. When you stop guessing and start looking at winter water the right way, consistency comes much easier. This is one of those patterns that changes how you approach the entire season. Tight lines!

Very concise info!
Thank you for this information, I plan on putting this to a test this weekend. I have a question…
How do you apply this to the 10K islands/ or backcountry of SWFL that doesn’t have the typical structure or docks? For example…I am using the smart spots and there is a GREAT spot that’s North East of Foster Key, do I fish the hole that’s 14 feet deep and the hole that’s 21.5 feet deep?
The depth is helpful, but it must have some sort of structure to be a consistently good spot. So if those holes have some bottom structure like rocks and/or ledges, then they could be great.
But if not, I’d rather fish a 5 to 10 ft ledge that goes up to the mangroves since that’s still plenty of depth to keep the water from being too cold while also having good habitat/structure to keep the fish safe from dolphin.
That makes a lot of sense, thank you Luke!
Great tips and reminders of the software features. This information helped a lot during the past week when it was COOOOOOOLD!
Great information guys like always thanks
Excellent information and guidance! Thanks so much, very helpful and I wonder if somehow AI could perhaps design smart spots for these cold, winter conditions?
Thanks for sharing such great info fellas, deeper waters can provide outstanding action in cold weather. When the shallows warm a few degrees, those fish will certainly migrate there later in the day.
Good discussion to me its really kinda common sence obviously fish are not going to be in the shallows when its cold outside because the less water there is the colder it gets so thus fishing deeper with cover on a good structured bottom is best and like you said Luke if the area doesn’t have any connecting water flowing through it in otherwords if it dead ends and its deeper then the surtounding areas this area would be more likely to hold fish then other shallower connecting waters would have lately my now 30 year life span here in northeast fl has shown recently just how much my blood has thinned out since I left my home state of mich to join the navy so because of all the cold weather we have recently experienced i haven’t been fishing ever since about Thanksgiving timeframe plus because of my dog completely healing from her recent hip surgeries and getting my motor and trailer yearly maintance done time just got the best of me but just recently the weather has begun to warm so im planning a trip soon but I will be searching for similar areas that you have shown and see how I do thanks for the great intel and all you do😉👍
excellent lesson and encouragement guys, well done
Great info. I like to fish small dead end canals and cuts. Especially in the turns of the bayou where it’s deep enough to run yet there are flats to one side where as it warms during the day the trout and reds move up on the flat to warm up.
Quality information. Thanks for the insight.
