Little River Lately

This is a report for the past two weeks. I’ve been fishing about 4 times a week for the past two weeks. I’ve been using nothing but mud minnows because I cant find any shrimp. Around 7 reds were caught the biggest one being 27". Also caught around 15 flounder give or take. Most all of them were keepers but they are still out there swimming around. Biggest flounder was 20". Fished the mud minnows on Carolina Rigs on the bottom and under Cajun Thunders. All reds were caught on Carolina Rigs and the flounder were mixed but most came off the popping corks. Most of the fish were caught behind Bird Island but a few were hooked around Dunn Sound and Sunset Beach.

My questions to yall are these:

  1. Where are the trout? I know people who have been catching them but I cant seem to catch one. Is it because I’m not using shrimp?

  2. Can someone give me the rundown on the Jim Caudle reef? I’ve been wanting to make a trip out there on a nice day in my 18 foot CC. Any Spanish out there or around the beach? What else do folks usually catch there?

Thank you very much for any help!
