So, no live bait fishing for us. Set up to drift some flats in the main sound. I was throwing top water (super spook) and my father tied on a CT/GULP!. I caught lady fish while he caught trout. Fished all my favorite spots and it seemed that the ladies throughout the sound had acquired a taste for whatever bait I was throwing. I think my father only caught two or three. I bet I caught 20.
Fished til the tide stopped at 12:30. Total was 5 legal trout. My father caught 4 of them on the stinky stuff, one for me on a skitterwalk. Big fish was only 22". Other 4 were all between 15.5" and 18". Never looked for any reds.
I am going back there next weekend with a friend but I will remember to load my tank. I love fishing Crooked Island, but for some reason we always do much better there using live LY's or white baits than artificials.
