Short trip, but posting in case this will help somebody. Put the boat in at 3 on Friday with my mom and gf…tide was dead hi, knowing catching bait would’ve been a cluster…I only took 3rods, 2packs of gulp curly tail 4" grubs(white,smoke), 6jig heads (black/gold 1/8oz) and a spool of 25# leader…i hate stuff getting in the way, especially when i want my mom and gf (and myself) to have the most relaxing/fun time possible…kept it real simple. Anyway…hit two spots (oysters along grasslines)and caught fish from the first cast to the last. Went through both packs of gulps and cruised back in around 6. Caught 30+trout, good size, kept 3 18"ers, 5slot reds,released, 1flounder, right at the number if I stretched him…but he was really thin and got released, and one trophy spot/croaker, he got released as well. Caught all fish in upper wando in 2-6ft of water…very aggressive bite. Color didn’t matter, got lots of bites/fish on both colors. Just a tip for this time of year especially…when 50+ trout days are out there…a dehooker is extremely convenient and fish friendly!! Been using them since the original arc came out…now I just use the one with the little u-shaped bend at the end. Hope everyone has a great week!
