Skunked on Sat with 7 hours on the water. Fished mullet on the bottom. Fished off morris isl had two runs that were broke off. Fished conch creek, ICW, Hamlin sound, no fish… Sunday with a change of game plan fished the Wando. Fished Mullet, Shrimp, Menhaden on the bottom and on corks with only two bites on the live shrimp. DOA under a cork saved the weekend with more trout than I can count, mostly small with biggest about 18 in. 1 rat red. Almost a fish every cast that lasted about 3 hours moving spots once all around dead low. Called it a day around 4 and left the trout bitting.
We all have days like this. In fact I went to Sully’s yesterday, and only caught some grass…
“In every species of fish I’ve angled for, it is the ones that have got away that thrill me the most, the ones that keep fresh in my memory. So I say it is good to lose fish. If we didn’t, much of the thrill of angling would be gone.” Ray Bergman
Thanks for a good report. Funny how the DOA got the trout jumping when a live shrimp wouldn’t! Gives us fresh bait people trying to convert over to arties some hope! LOL!
