Wading in spring

Fishing can be hit or miss. Windblown shorelines with scattered grass and sand are very productive during spring months. These shorelines are often similar, so focus on transition areas next to deep water or points that allow trout and redfish to feed and retreat quickly if temperatures drop or weather changes. Topwaters excel fished over weed flats. If the bite is tough, use a slower presentation and finesse fish to bite with soft-plastic baits like a shrimp imitation or a soft-plastic jerkbait. (Recommended products are G.
