Winter Tips & Tactics: Inshore Kayak Fishing East Central Florida Inbox
This blog post shares insights on winter inshore kayak fishing in East Central Florida. The author, a fan of Peaky Blinders, likens launching into cold waters to the show’s phrase, "in the bleak mid-winter." Key Takeaways: Winter Fishing Challenges: Cold snaps, fluctuating temperatures, and high barometric pressure slow fish metabolisms, making them less aggressive feeders. Down-Sizing for Success: Using smaller baits, lighter tackle, and matching seasonal forage increases bites. Recommended lures include the 2-inch Egret Baits Vudu Shrimp and Tsunami Swim Shad. Choosing the Right Spots: Fishing near deep water adjacent to sun-warmed flats or in protected creeks like Goat Creek and Turkey Creek improves chances of finding active fish. The Right Kayak Matters: A stable, quiet kayak like the Old Town Topwater 120 PDL or Hobie Outback helps anglers navigate backwaters effectively. Winter fishing can be tough, but with the right approach, it remains rewarding. Local fishing reports, like those from Spacefish, provide valuable insights. Thanks for supporting Kayaks By Bo!
