It has been so long since I posted anything that I am not sure if anyone continues to check us out. The gap was partially due to "no available computer" but more so a case of the frustration of having nothing of any value to report!
Over the past few weeks while my catching has been anything but user friendly, we have been catching some pretty decent trout wading. It has taken a bunch of cast to catch a few trout, but they have been solid fish. In spite of all of the runoff and dirtier water, we are still finding fish on the north end of the lake swimming 5-inch Assassins and cranking Corkies and Softdines. The last few days we have done better with darker colors, but first choices are still day glow or pink. The two best dark colors have been morning glory and red shad, especially in the tails.
Easily my two best trips were evening trips on an incoming tide. We didn't limit on either trip, but we did have several fish in the four to five pound range. I have no idea how many fish we catch (unless its zero) as we are releasing every trout in an effort to help them rebound. The numbers are no longer there!
The redfish bite remains strong most days. We have caught a few wading and drifting the revetment wall, but our most consistent bite is still taking place in deeper water bouncing tails or a hoginar off the bottom. The Lil John has also been a very good bait as has the Down South tail in bone diamond.
My guiding has slowed down drastically, but I will continue posting as it doesn't mean that I will quit fishing. If you still occasionally check this site out let me know. Not posting requires very little effort! Feel free to text or call should the expected response not warrant continuing.
I hope you enjoy the best Christmas of your life!
