As much as I like the feeling of a tug at the other end of my line, fishing has much more meaning to me than just catching. One of the beauties of the sport is that it takes on many meanings all at once....
Sam, Raymond, and I caught all our fish in water deeper than 5’. We fished the conclusion of the incoming tide and the water levels were running above normal due to the nagging east wind that blew the few days prior. The fish have been very lethargic. Slowly dragging our lures on the bottom with the current with the occasional bounce seemed to work well. The three of us threw the same lure the entire trip, a TTF Hackberry Hustler in morning glory on 1/4oz jigheads. We caught a few small reds and 20-30 trout ranging from 17” to a little over 20”. Most of them were thick and, after checking the stomach contents, full of mullet ranging from 3” to 8”.
