This week, we have spent more time in the intracoastal finding trout, reds, and flounder, around structure, as well as a few fish over structure on the South Shoreline, closer to deeper drops on tails with 1/8 oz heads. As in previous weeks, when the weather cooperates, and we can dodge the storms and lightning, we are once again burning a good deal of fuel and time taking the ride over to the Jetties to find good-looking water and a solid early am trout bite. We are utilizing Mirror Lure suspending hard baits, Rattle Traps, soft body Swim Baits, and Tails with 1/8 oz heads in light colors. Our clients are still enjoying excellent success using Fish Smack Popping corks with a 1 to 2 foot leader above shrimp imitation lures, as well as Salt & Pepper Tails by WacAttack and shrimp color Rat tails by Deadly Dudley. We did find a couple of groups of birds working as we traveled across the bay, which resulted in some trout as well. The Topwater bite has still been good when utilized on our early morning and late afternoon trips, so if you like throwing walking baits, now is a great time to get on the water and make it happen, and the color does not seem to be that critical, with black / chrome being one of our favorite colors.
