Congratulations!

I’d just leave them as they tend to get knocked off as the fish become more active.

I’ll do my best to keep things simple. A Ball Tail Shad rigged on a 1/8-ounce jighead is great when wading in thigh- to waist-deep water or use a 1/4-ounce when drifting. In thigh-deep or less water, I like to use the Wig-A-Lo, Willow Tail Shad, or Paddle Tail paired with a 3/32-ounce jighead. If it’s windy, I’ll use a 1/8-ounce. As for colors, I’ve listed those I recommend based on water clarity. This doesn’t mean you should go out and buy every color, but choose a couple of natural and dark colors that you’re confident in. Hope this helps!

Clear or Trout Green Water

-          Naked Margarita

-          Bone Diamond

-          Bart’s Sand Ninja

-          Lagunaflauge

-          Pearl

Stained or Dirty Water

-          Plum Perfect

-          Plum/Chartreuse

-          Texas Roach

-          Flomingo

-          Strawberry/Cool

-          Electric Grape/Cool

That’s awesome!

I’d check out Oso Bay near the naval base. With the lower tides, I’d wade the edge of the channel south of the bridge for trout.
