Spring + bad weather = put up the fly rod and grab the plugs

Multiple pictures illustrate the fishing process

With the right conditions it’s hard to beat spring sight fishing for redfish…  That being said the weather is not always conducive to what you want to do. Lucky for us when the skies cloud up and the wind picks up, this makes for a perfect topwater situation.  Although you can’t see the fish before you cast you will certainly see the fish eat your lure which will still get your heart pumping.  It’s common to catch a multitude of trout in the 3-5 lb range and also redfish in the 6-12 lb range.  Topwater fishing can turn a bad weather day into a successful day on the water, you just have to be willing to try.
