Then I realized she had a 1/4 oz. hook on and a color gulp I never used much, the molting color. The trout loved it, I rigged up the same way and got a big flounder on the first cast- I'll take it! 
We put several more trout in the box, caught a few shorts but not many, and got 2 blues and a nice Spanish. Kept one blue for the grill.Tide was high at 1330, action slowed some so we roared over to some nearby rocks to try topwater. Didn't find anything there, water rough and wind picked up out there so we limped back over to spot # 1 and found 2 more big trout. Had to leave at 1530 to get back for a family supper, made it back to ramp by 1600. Ended up with 8 trout to 21'', 1 blue, 1 spanish and one big flounder. It was fun being out with the wife again, and as always I learned a thing or two from fishing with her. We only had one bag of the molting color and made them last, but they paid off. The weather was great, got a little windy in the afternoon but not too bad. We lost a lot of good fish at the boat and had many drop the hook right after the strike.
They are biting good, can't wait to go again!!
