What are we doing wrong?

I can't help you in your part of the big bend, but in the Cedar Key south area I am having a lot of luck with bigger trout and redfish with 5 to 6 inch soft white jurk bait rigged texas style. fish around the edge of the potholes and in the grass in 2.5 to 4 feet of water very sslow. we limited out this past weekend on both trout and redfish . average size trout 18. experiment with bullet weights and no weights sometime one works better than others, this weekend no weight was the best

Sounds good will try that up here thanks!!

You do need to set the hook on a trout, but just with a pop of the rod tip, not a big redfish or bass sweeping hard set. I like to just give them a nice little pop while keeping the line tight. I also catch a lot of pinfish on jigs with that little popping hookset-all foulhooked.

sabiki works okay, but personally I like a bream hook on a bream buster or small rig and a split shot and a little chunk of a gulp. Unless I can find them in a wad, then I prefer a castnet!

Better stick with dough balls, setty.
