The last two days have been carbon copies for us. The fog has been a problem early, but it hasn't taken the southeast wind too long to blow it out. We actually did a little better yesterday as far as the numbers we put in the boat, but we had a couple of shots at real good trout today.
We have been spending more time on the Intracoastal side of the islands than in the lake which is a little unusual for this time of the year. We have caught more fish on red shad or pumpkin chartreuse Assassins only because we are catching a few reds and flounder along with the trout. All of the better trout, however, were caught on a black-chartreuse Corky Devil, a bone Catch V, or a black-chartreuse 2000 both days.
The best bite for us has been a little later in the morning. We were going to try the La. shoreline south of Green's this morning, but it was just too foggy and we were afraid the wind would pick up late anyway. It eventually diud just that. We fished a lot of 67 to 69 degree water which is awful warm for this time of the year. In spite of the warm water, most of the trout were hanging right on the breaks next to deeper water. We saw very little bait activity either day.
