Winter Redfish in the Lowcountry

{%image_id=46621%}{%image_id=46620%}As the temperatures in South Carolina have finally fallen into the 50's, we are starting our winter pattern for Redfish. The last couple of hours of the ebb and first couple of the flood tide give anglers a great opportunity to sight fish. The Reds are bunched up now in schools to protect themselves from man's favorite critter, Flipper. They hang tight on the shallow flats, are easily found on slick sunny days. Stealth is very important, as once you booger them up the bite is over. We had a pretty good day last Saturday on some nice ones.
