Econfina trout

Post by cleanlivin »

Trout fishing at econfina has been extremely slow the last couple weeks has anyone else noticed this. I was out in about 8' of water and noticed the Algae was really bad could this have something to do with the trout bite

The bite was terrible last week. I wonder if the fish are moving to other areas, maybe following shrimp or baitfish? :roll:

try shallower...

we've been hammering fish out of Econfina for the past month. I feel like I should be trolling for marlin in 8'...

I fished for bait and only caught 2, there didn't seem to be a lot of small baitfish around.

. Pinfish are there. We easily caught dozens. But smaller ones were hard to come by.

I'm trying to help you...

A lot of folks have put tournament fish on the board out of Econfina the past few weeks. If you honestly believe the fish aren't there, then try a different section of coastline, but trying different depths and it may change your view that their aren't trout around...

I agree that there are no fish at econfina. Myself and Ed Falcone were only able to place 2nd in the optimus tournament fishing from there. That did it for us. Gonna find a new spot. Probably Lanark. That place always has plenty.
