If you are going to be bracing the cold this weekend here is a few tips to make your trip successful and enjoyable. First off make sure you dress the part. Put on way more than you think you’ll need. You can always remove layers while on the water. Grab that old thermos is the back of the pantry and fill with with some coffee for my personal favorite chicken broth to keep yourself warm. Once you hit the bay start with the deeper water close to the flats you were catching your fish last week. Fish have tails and move bit they won’t go far from home. Soft plastics on heavy jig heads worked along the bottom will be exactly what I’ll be doing these next couple days. Be safe out there!

You carry a compass while wading? Probably not. Well I’d highly suggest having one handy or at least making sure you have a compass app on your home. The fog rolled in on us in Baffin today while we were several hundred yards from the boat. That handy compass guided me right back to my boat with ease.

Interesting observation the other day. After having a small bite window first thing in the morning everything pretty much died for us. No bites, no bait, nothing. Waiting till the mid day major and still nothing. About an hour after the “major” ended we noticed big groups of ducks flying overhead. Then the bait started flipping. Guess what, the bite turned on and we had it hot and heavy for the next two hours. The lesson here, know what the solunar table says, but never base your day on it. Pay attention to what’s going on around you and when in doubt wait it out. Y’all be good ✌🏽
