Thanksgiving Week Fishing

Thanksgiving week was all about family, food and fishing.   When I was not eating, I was fishing with my family.  The bite was good all week if you adjusted your techniques to match the weather conditions.

Early in the week, the weather was warm and the barometer was steady.  My niece, Sarah, did great sight fishing Redfish in the shallows.

The next day, a cold front passed through bringing with it a light rain and cooler temperatures.  The falling barometer had the Trout feeding actively.  My brother in law (Mike) and nephew (Lee) released over 100 fish casting Z-Man StreakZ 3.75 on Finesse Jigs.

The next day brought blue skies and post cold front conditions.  My brother (Dave) and son (Elliott) doubled up On the Fly with a couple of nice Redfish.  The water was very clear and the fish were very easy to see.

Today, my wife (Amy) and I got out of the skiff to enjoy the perfect weather.  After a picnic lunch, we released a bunch of small Trout.  Post cold front had the Trout in deeper about (10-15 feet).  Once located, vertical jigging a Z-Man TubeZ on NedlockZ jig kept us in steady action.
