With the trout fishery being closed because of the most recent freeze most are looking towards Reds to fill their fishing needs. That is what we will be focusing on in today's report. To start out with the tides are low, actually they are super low. Anglers in boats should seek the highest point of the tide to head out for reds. If your going via kayak higher points of the tide are highly recommend but not as essential as for boaters. As always the marshes behind Bear Island are holding good schools of fish this time of year. Searching the bays off the main channels are showing promising results. On calm days you can also head out the inlet and patrol down the island searching for schools in the surf. They have been spotted from Bear inlet all the way to the Pier. Fishing inside for them weedless rigs are gonna be key. Pair them with your favorite soft plastic and you should be in luck. Zman Paddlerz with a little Pro Cure tend to work for us.
