areas best birds blue caught couple feet fish four guys happening hitting lots marking mud shallow top traps trout tuesday water
I had two guys out Tuesday and we caught four trout and a couple of reds. It's just not happening right now. Some of the top trout areas are too shallow to get in with a boat. I've been hitting the birds on the upper end of the lake. There are lots of birds, but they aren't marking too many trout. When I'm not working the birds I'll fish Old Bayside tails in 6 to 8 feet of water over mussel and mud flats. Traps in chrome and a blue back have been best under the birds.
birds few fish quite running solid stay steady trout
It's a steady bite, but you have to stay with the birds. The trout under the birds are solid fish with quite a few running from 3 to 5 pounds.
lake move stir tides water
It'll stir the water up and move more saltwater into the lake on incoming tides. We need some new water to move into the lake. The tides have been abnormally low.
along beginning catch few fishing good imitation slow south trout various
We're beginning to catch a few good trout along the south shoreline. But it's still very slow fishing with various mullet imitation plugs and Old Bayside tails in white/chartreuse or shad colors.
