I haven’t posted in a while mainly b/c the pictures are so hard to upload here. Admin would be wise to make it easier to post from an Iphone…Hint hint.
Went to see if I could locate fish in the worst winter conditions (ie 25kt winds, winter water temps, High falling tide, rain). Pleasant suprise in all this was it didn’t rain (much) and the water was 61.9 degrees! I started searching deeper water close to main channel but the water was too high and the fish were far up on the flats. So I ran up to what I call the “headwaters” (4 ft or less at the top of named creeks). I started floating down until I found fish. I casted to the grass and stayed where the flats drained. I used berkley gulp grubs in chartreuse. They started biting in 4 ft of water with 2 foot visibility! That is shallow for winter. The warm water had them feeding. I also saw nervous water which were mullet just below the surface! I saw some mullet jumping also. The mullet were cruising the grass line on the falling tide. The trout were feeding on anything small that floated by in the middle of the water column. I had a trout strike my lure by the boat…So I tried a slow sinking twitch bait…no hits. They only wanted a 2 in small grup in any color.
I landed around 8 trout and all were in the 17-18 in range. All catch and released.
Pictures included because you Sicko’s need proof.
And here is a picture if you see in a creek it should make you stop and go oooh, so nice.
