Uncommon Redfish & Trout Pattern Few Know About

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.

Luke fished the first area we broke down in this video and covered it in a recent report. View the report here.

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!

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😉👍

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.

I have been a salt strong member for since 2018 and obviously love the club. The smart spots app is great, however the 1 foot contour lines in this area are way off, even taking into account the water level varying during the times of year and different weather. Since our water is murky, it is crucial to try and find deep water near cover. I thought the contour lines feature would help but it is so inaccurate, it doesn’t help.

I to have found thr app to be sometimes off but you have to remember computors were created by humans so obviously they are not perfect as well as the info that one reads from them im now 62 years old and fully retired so im lucky because I can fish anytime at any of the areas I fish and have been fishing inshore saltwater now for going on 23 years this march and my point is because I have fished my areas for so long experience has taught me more about the areas then any computor generated app or other info from a computor and I never totally rely on info from a computor to really tell me anything and believe it absolutely true and don’t get me wrong im not at all saying the saltstrong smart spots app is wrong but I just take its info with a grain of salt persay that’s just my baby boomer way of thinking and I catch plenty of fish I to have been a member since 2017 and a life time member since 2018 just saying🤔😉👍
