The sharks in East Matty are really getting brave. I went out for a quick trip this morning and had a 4’-6’ bull shark destroying fish 20 yards from me. I ran backwards to the boat just because of how aggressive and sporadic it was acting. I decided to just trolling motor over to some bait I seen and drift in to it. As soon as I hooked up and the trout started splashing I looked by the boat and there he was just swimming right by the boat waiting for the fish. Still ended up catching some solid fish this morning. Top water bite was very aggressive first thing this morning.
Went down and fished with Capt Sanchez on Aug 1. Started out a GRIND and found a good bit of small fish. Made multiple stops and bait was so thick, your pockets were full. The wind picked up to probably about 25 and the fishing got hot!!! James busted his back side to put us on fish and it paid off. I was able to catch a 28.5 inch 7 lbs trout. Funny thing about listening to last night’s webinar about colors. The K Wiggler ball tail I used was one that was purchased at the salesman sample sale as an imperfection!!! Larry we need this one added to the lineup.
Question for the brain trust:
This past saturday i had 3 separate instances while sight casting reds I would barely miss a school by a foot or 2 and I'd end up catching a trout. This was a first for me. I've heard mickey talk about large trout following schools of bull reds before. These were mostly all slot fish in these instances but the question still stands; Is this a seasonal thing? A conditions thing? For extra context i was a little bit deeper than normal, water was very dirty, they were on shrimp, and the schools were moving a lot faster than what i'm used to seeing. Was a pleasant suprise until i hooked a 12" trout and he blew up the biggest school of the day
Hey can someone make sure to post up the past live streams.Cant miss plaag
Anyone launch wilsons cut recently? Or any other recommendations? Family's taking a trip down to Port A soon & gonna be staying in cinnamon shores, bringing my boat over and wanna stay on that south shoreline. Boats not really made for crossin bays ya know haha. Appreciate any insight!
Need to replace a couple bearings in my reel and there’s too many to choose from. Any experience on ceramic vs stainless and preferred brand?
I am headed to the McAllen, Texas this weekend. Can anyone recommend some good walk in wading spots. Thank you in advance!
With the full moon, fishing was much better than expected, lasting until two days afterward. Now that the tides have finally dropped, it's much easier to wade along drop-offs where trout are concentrated and feeding on schools of mullet and menhaden. Topwaters worked well, and as Perry mentioned, we continued to catch fish on a Double D. The rest of our time was spent using plastic lures.
By mid-morning, drifting over deep flats and along the edges of seagrass in three feet of water with a 3" Four Horsemen cork and soft plastic or with just a jighead, resulted in more trout. This included some of the biggest ones we've seen this week.
After struggling to locate redfish, they magically appeared on knee-deep flats. Topwaters produced some explosive strikes when worked around the schools of mullet they were following. As the sun rose higher, we had the chance to sight cast and even spotted some large trout. I recommend using a Wig-A-Lo or a 4-inch paddle tail in pearl or Bart's sand ninja colors. Once the boat traffic increased and the water temperatures rose, we found the fish holding in waist-deep potholes near the drop-offs.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July!
Just a quick update on the consistency of our video production.
