Hit the water just before low tide on Sunday morning. I did pretty well with the trout on weedless rigged ZOOM jerk baits and DOA. I tried to use the trout trick and fished it exactly how it says on this site and on the package and kept getting them snagged and had to re-rig a couple of times. Finally gave up on them. I guess I have to fish them in much deeper water???
I’ve fished them succesfully in shallow water before - you must have just been at a “sticky” spot…truthfully, I have had better luck lately using the small dark colored Mirrodine lure than I have on the tricks.
Also - try using some Pro-Cure shrimp gel on the trout trick,that seems to help as well.
You need to use a weedless gold spoon. You will catch twice as many reds with these, b/c they weigh a little more and it will stay in the water.
