I'm thinking of trying for trout in the a.m., any info on depth would be helpful. I'll be using gulp shrimp, and redfish magic, and pins if I can find any. thanks for any help.

Don't forget eggs.

You can boil them in the water for a snack! :lol:

Just joking, good luck!

Pinfish are certainly abundant. I use a Sabiki (only three hooks to cut down on tangles) and use a very small piece of gulp on the hook). Can find the pins easily on the grass regardless of water depth. Suggest you fish 7' to 9' of water. Great place to start is around the stake lines. Just need to make sure you are fishing over grass. Suggest a deeper drop under your popping cork (5'). Also suggest a thin wire leader for running pinfish. No shortage of sharks and a pinfish breakfast is a favorite. Ill be fishing there Monday and will post a report. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

fished 8' to 10' early, only got ladyfish and sharks. tried 6' & 7' and caught about 25 short trout, only 1 keeper. plenty of sails, hardheads, and sharks. tried some old fishbites, shrimp flavor on 1 rod about 4.5' deep and had lots of action on that. I should have went back out to the 8', 10' and tried that before I left. not a bad day. thanks for the help.
