GREAT NATURE FOUNDATION FEBRUARY FISHING tailwatershop.com
February Fishing: Tips and Tactics for Winter Anglers With limited options for keeping fish offshore. Hog fish and snapper can save a day and fill a dinner plate. Look for live bottom in 40-50ft of water or ledges/small shows in 65- 70ft.
OU CAN ALSO TARGET MANGROVE SNAPPER USING THE SAME TACTICS FOR HOGFISH AS WELL BUT SUPPLEMENT SHRIMP WITH SMALL WHITEBAIT AND OTHER AVAILABLE CHUM
Kingfish Kingfish are always offshore in that 70ft plus water depth. I’d recommend always having a free lined bait out the back. With a big live pinfish, cigar minnow, ladyfish or mullet being good options. Another good tactic would be to drop a 1.5-2 oz bucktail tipped with a dead sardine to about 30-40 foot of depth. Trolling is an option but it's typically more productive to bottom fishing as well.
My favorite setup for sight fishing redfish is a 7' Medium or Medium Light Fish rods with a 2500 or 3000 series reel. Speckled Trout can be found in potholes, along flat edges, and channels in our area. Using the same baits as redfish with a little more weight will do the trick.
The end of February will usually be characterized by a warm spell where snook can be targeted moving from the backs of rivers and creeks to creek mouths and nearby flats. Once the water temps begin pushing towards and into the 70s you can upsize your lures some. However the small presentations will work just find on laid up, sunning snook. Also, if targeting snook this time of year, Do as Branson does and tie on a yo-zuri pencil. Anytime can be topwater time if you have one tied on.
