Speckled trout are a top choice for anglers targeting the flats of this lagoon. The cooler water temperatures in November will bring the larger “gator” sized trout out of their summertime hiding spots. Noisy top water plugs like the Rapala Skitterwalk in the speckled trout or redfish color patterns are extremely effective in the shallows. These larger specks are looking for a meal and won’t hit smaller lures in many cases. Black drum and redfish are possible catches too. Cut baits and live shrimp will work best for them. Most of the drum are going to be in the slot so anglers can keep a few if they want to have a fresh fish dinner. The reds will come in all sizes from 15-inches to 40 plus-inches so be prepared to have a big one hit your line even if your fishing in the shallow backwaters of the 1000 Island area or Sykes Creek.
