While the winters may be mild down here, there are plenty of cold fronts that move through the area as well as a lot more windy days on the water. That doesn’t seem to bother people too much because the fishing charters stay very busy in the winter. The severe cold fronts can really affect the snook fishing, but for the most part, there are usually plenty of places to get out of the wind here and other many species of fish will eat on a daily basis. Some of the backcountry areas can hold some of the best fishing during the winter months, so if you like shallow water fishing for snook, redfish, trout, flounder and sheepshead, this is a great place to visit in the winter.
