Fished five new areas today - two areas had redfish and trout on them...interesting aspect is that they were both on sand and I am not talking about a sand hole or sand with grass...I mean 200 yards in both directions of nothing but clean sand, not even a hint of grass.

Oh yeah the phuggers wouldn't eat either....I will have to go back and punish them at a later date

Saw three trout that were worthy of the big trout post to bad they wouldn't eat either

Had a blast, can't wait til next time

At least you got out there and found a few.

Next time use SAND FLEAS.

That's unusual? Glad you got out Chalk. Much better than what I was doing.

Good report Chalk. As Nole states, dang sure better than what I was doing.

2 years ago Butch and I found 15 pounds of trout on sand at Keaton. Topwater in 50 degree water did it for us.
Did you try topwater?

They got brain freeze...Glad you got to go

you sure they wern't frozen? at least you went

Happens to the best of us. However, I have every confidence you'll pester the hell out of those fish.

WTG.

Thanks for the report - that's the most frustrating kind of skunk ain't it? In my unqualified opinion I like to think it's the recent pressure fronts making them docile. Me and mojokoko had a similar lame bite experience in November a day or two after the high pressure / cold front hit (1st or second week of the month I think, don't remember for sure). We went all day from Grey Mare to a couple miles east of the Aucilla and back; couldn't go 10 feet in idle speed without running over a red. I think we ended the day with like 2 trout, 1 fairly large seabass, and a lizard fish between the two of us.

I've seen them laying up on the sand like that before too, kinda prowling around like sharks, and someone with unknown credentials (random old salty feller I ran in to in Destin at a ramp one day) once told me they do that often immediately following a drop in water temp because of thermal properties over sand vs grassy stuff, but I don't know if that theory holds any water or not. Same feller said they rarely bite when doing so...Anyone else ever heard of that?

Beats workin'. Oh, and nice illustrative work on the post - a picture is worth a thousand words!
