The last few weeks have been great! We are on a summer pattern and if you are a skilled angler, full stringers of speckled trout and redfish should not be a problem. It’s the perfect time to get out on the water and test your skills, I have been catching trout on a 4lb average and some nice size slot reds with a few tournament size in the mix. Trout are biting on free lined croakers, shrimp or Gulp under a popping cork, and liking most of the more popular artificials; Down South Paddle tails, Norton Sand eels, and are still eating corkies in about 2-4ft of water. I’m locating most of my fish on a drift then dropping a hook and filling up the box usually in less than three anchor drops.
The redfish have been good on cut mullet, fresh shad and cracked crab on wind blown shorelines. I have found fish in every bay and have heard plenty of bragging at the docks from Ingleside to Lamar, as long as we don’t get any big floods I expect the pattern to hold. If you’re thinking about a fishing trip down south, now is the perfect time to get down here. If you’re looking for a charter please feel free to give me a call, plenty of dates still available. Remember to only keep what you’re gonna eat, wear your life vest and kill switch lanyard and respect others on the water. See you at the cleaning tables.
