"Gotta Do What Ya Gotta Do"
Trout to 24" and Redfish to the mid slot have been dominating catches of late. It feels like the bite is on the rebound after
getting knocked down over the full moon period of a week ago. Winds and tides have been tricky and the bite continues to be thwarted by lack luster tide movement early. We've been slow playing it early and then striking mid-day on moving water. We've still got a lot of fish on sand/grass but shell Trout dominated the boards yesterday while still decent numbers came of sand/grass for our wade fishermen.
Redfish have and continue to be solidly positioned on very shallow mud/grass flats. Yesterday, it was almost slick early and that sent Capt. Chris C. looking for torpedoes on the run. He doubled down on the biggest concentrations taking full limits by 9:00am with the Susan G. party while airboat fishing the back lakes.
I haven't dialed up the weather for the week yet but I've already heard from two of my guides that it's going to present some challenges with multiple wind directions and velocities. Figuring that one out will be part of "business as usual" for us and I'm sure something should break lose with some consistency in the near term. While boat fishing has definitely been slower than wade fishing, I look for that to change as the Trout finish spawning and pull out to shell in warmer water temperatures. For me, that even can't get here fast enough!
