Well I havent fished there much and my gut told me the same but I tried it for the hell of it cause Im fixing to have a baby and dont have many free weekends left. I had the results I was expecting. So are they pretty much slow all winter?

REDFISHON... with all due respect, i do agree with your take on the fronts, however that rule doesn't ALWAYS apply... shortly after that last front came i still went and the N wind was blowing hard! miraculously, the fish were still by dam (hadn't moved), and there was some to be caught! now it was tough to fish becauese of course with a N wind it all ends up at the dam and it was rough in my little boat lol...I do agree with you though man not trying to start an argument at all, i just don't think that rule is set in stone. Respect to you sir... i went yesterday too and it had only been South wind 1 day and i saw TONS of schools and caught some nice lunkers, granted they were very finicky and picky it can be done

And not as good for the most part. I just pick my days carefully it costs me 100 bucks in gas to get down there and want to have the best chance.. If I still lived in SA I would go no matter what the weather.. I was catching fish there a few years back with a tropical strom blowing over us.LOL.. I fish thru stuff like this at the coast.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rvJmRO1-Sw.. I agree with you above it is what you make of it.

Is anybody heading up to Cali this weekend? Finally pulled the trigger and purchased another boat. What do you guys recommend as far as looking for the reds right now.
Thanks,
Michael

they will probably be on the move after this front... they alraedy moved before it but they might return... i would head to the dam first and check it out...from there if they aren't there head towards the powerlines. Good luck and be safe it's gonna be pretty windy

the redfish are going to be SUPER slow in the main lake until late february... and if you tried it a few weeks ago they were slowing down but there, but they weren't at 10-15ft, they were deeper.. that might explain no luck, but also if your in the wrong area where there are no fish doesn't matter the depth! check out your graph and look for areas that have no bait and be aware for the smell...if you have those 2 they are there so look harder... move fast and don't just cruise around slow! good luck bro ... also jet divers are too much of a pain.. just use Norman DD22's.. or in years past i've caught plenty on a 3/4-1oz traps...

yeah Henner... next time just tell her to "sit down, shutup" that's usually what i tell my chick when she keeps asking "where are the reds?" HAHA ... but i promise you one thing bro, the first time she hooks up with a solid redfish she will never want to catfish again, and will have NO PROBLEM waiting for hours for that fight a red provides!! my girl is hooked ever since her first keeper that pulled drag...now her PB is over 17lb's... check this vid of her catching a fatty
