I picked up some baby trout color soft swin baits from Tsunami last night cause they looked interesting. I hooked one on an 18" leader and got 2 trout and a nice keeper flounder in my first 8 casts, so they're my new favorite bad weather jig. I forget what they're actually called, but they were about $3.50 for a 5 pack of 4 inchers and they come with hooks and embedded weights already in them.
We drifted the sand bar west of the channel for a while when the sun came out, got a lot of bites but boated nothing there, moved to the east flats and drifted randomly for a couple hours. We got into a bunch of trout and mojo and I both caught multiple keeper trout on topwater - me with a 4" shad Zara spook and him with bone Super Spook.
Left there around 11 and headed back around the oyster bars - the eerie calm pictured in the other reports occurred when we were in the middle of all the oyster bars, so it was a topwater-gasm for about an hour. LOTS of action, but we didn't land anything super.
Ended up picking up a small red and some more trout over there, headed in around 1:30 to catch football, and man was the ramp at the fort ever pleasant without the scallopers - waited in line behind one person who wasn't an idiot and got right out. UV index must have been off the chain cause I got a little crispy with SPF 50. As you can see in the pics I had to switch to the goofier looking hat later in the day to keep the sun off my face.
In all, we got ump-teeen trout; all were keepers, but none were big. I think 18" was the biggest but most were within a half inch of 16. I neglected to photograph the flounder, but it was 15" and I was surprised to catch it on a jerking swimbait on a cajun thunder...tasty... no really big fish today but a great day on the water, and made it home in time for all the good football games.
