With the passing of a few cold fronts, winter time fishing in the Ten Thousand Islands is heating up! Typical winter fare usually consists of trout pompano redfish and a host of other wiling fish. We more often than not will be fishing jigs tipped with shrimp and use a run and gun approach to find pockets of active fish. Live shrimp will take the place of pilchards this time of year and can account for many multi-species catches. This type of fishing is tailor made for younger or less experienced anglers due to the often non-stop action.
