Specks, reds still available in January

During the winter months, there's plenty of legal-sized reds to be caught in shallow water for anglers fishing soft plastics.

Anglers can catch plenty of good-sized speckled trout, redfish and an occasional flounder on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast after the bowl games have ended. To learn where to find them and how to catch them, we talked with Capt. Kyle Jarreau of Shore Thing Charters, who guides in the Biloxi Marsh out of Bay St. Louis.

This month, depending on the weather, fishermen generally find speckled trout and redfish in the deeper holes in the marsh, especially on colder days.

“I’ll be fishing in Bayou Biloxi quite a bit this month,” Jarreau said. “As long as the temperature’s cool, the speckled trout and the redfish prefer to hold in deep holes from 8- to 22-feet deep there, especially in the mornings.” Click here to read more on Specks, reds still available in January
