As the seasons change, so does the game plan.
In this episode of GuideLines TV, “Red Flag,” Capt. Jay Withers breaks away from the live-bait bite and leans into one of his favorite times of year — when artificial lure presentation becomes the key to success.
With falling tides, cleaner water, and redfish cruising shallow shorelines, this is prime time for sight fishing. Jay walks you through how he adjusts his approach during this transition, focusing on reading conditions, identifying moving fish, and presenting artificials with purpose.
Low water reveals opportunity — from ambush points to tailing fish — and when everything lines up, the reward is explosive shallow-water action. This episode is all about slowing down, paying attention, and making the right cast at the right moment.
If you love watching redfish hunt in skinny water and want to sharpen your artificial-lure strategy during seasonal changes, this one’s for you.
