Hey guys, I wa thinking of heading over to the Red Dot this evening to see if I can have any luck. I've never really fished this time of year, is evening and night a decent time to try throwing some lines off over there? I was planning to toss a couple of rods with live shrimp and then use my shiny new bait cast to try some jigs in the flats behind and along the pier.

Thoughts?

Usually this time of year the fish come out from the depths and onto the flats during the warmer days in the afternoon. But February/March is a great time to fish red dot when the big black drum start running

Thanks jerry, that's great info!

So if I decide to go ahead and go to the pier (I don't have a boat or kayak yet Crying or Very sad ) I should just throw out into the deep water?

Yeah man throw some shrimp and fishbites in that deep water and you should at least catch something!

You could also try some blue crab or sea lice in the channel. They are also having a black drum tourney right now to add to the excitement.

I would fish Blue Crabs on my big poles and fresh Shrimp, Fishbites on my bait rods. Whiting make good fish tacos .
Good luck and Good Fishing.

Might be time to use something that "perch" won't bother, like one of them or artificials. Cool
