Fishing Report - Last few Trips
Posted: April 14th, 2020, 8:59 am
It's been a minute because of work & life but wanted to share some observations from my last few trips over the last couple weeks.
It's been the best trout bite streak of my life. Over the last 3 trips I've landed at least 17 fat trout from 20" - 25" and lost one that was easily over 25". Some of them fought like
reds & honestly had me guessing what they were til I got them up to the surface. Even had some matching size reds chase after the trout while I had them hooked.
I was catching them in <REDACTED LOCATION> with electric chicken jerk baits during both incoming and outgoing tides. Deeper has been better overall.
Reds have been where I've been & I've hooked some, lost some, and wished I hooked some that I saw.
Caught a monster needlefish on the flats that was 30 inches. Huge surprise.
Saw the first shark of the year cruising the flats this past weekend. Another sign that winter fishing is transitioning.
I have to go reload plastics because of fish that tear them up: Spanish, snapper blues, pinfish, smooth pufferfish. I swear the plastic bait manufacturers stock the flats with them...
Happy fishing!
