After the last 2 yrs of cold winters,the trout are back this year. Got to fish with Scott from Haddrell’s yesterday and once we found them,we were catching them 2 at a time until we ran out of bait, We had planned just to fish a couple of hours and it worked out great. We landed over 40 trout and most were keepers but we did not keep any. Also got some flounder and pinfish using live shrimp for bait. Fish were caught in the Cooper
Shrimp under a popping cork?
Glad u and Scott caught some trout, thanks for posting!
Live shrimp 3.5ft under popping float. But once they started feeding, I honestly think they would have eaten artificials just as well. Going to carry some live mullet/mini-hadens next time to see if I can get back on the big gators like a few weeks ago…good times good times. Gotta get me one of Mike’s custom trout rods now though, something must be wrong with this…I am always the one selling gear to Mike, now he has talked ME into spending money…what are friends for!

Shrimp under a cork was the ticket.

There is no greater fan of fly fishing than the mud minnow.
Aprrox 4" is ideal, Hunter
What do yall look for when you are targeting trout?
Little bit of a loaded question depending on tide stage, but high water I am typically looking for shell rakes that re-direct current and create a current rip, right now around 4-5ft of water. Low water, I have been fishing hard bottom that has 1-2’ relief and averaging depth of again 4-5ft. Fish have been staging right in front of the relief.g’luck
WTF?
did I miss something trying to help out??
