Got in last night about fish thirty, that hour just before the sun goes down, and threw a few things out with no luck. I was starting to think the eve was going to be a bust until I heard the shad coming in at the end of the canal. With the shad came the specks and although I could have thrown soft plastics and pulled in a limit I went for the Catch 2000's in either clear or the green with black working them at different retrieves. I caught 4 very fat trout going 17, 19, 20 and 22" all released to fight another day. I also had a few sand trout that tried to be pigs and eat something half the size of them hahaha.
I used a spinning reel, 6'6" rod and 12lb Seaguar flourocarbon main line. They weren't interested in a slow retrieve. You had to give it an almmost steady pop pop pop pop pop pause pop pop pop pop pop pause pop pause and somewhere in there wham!
I was going to fish this eve but i believe I got put on movie and drinks duty. I'll gladly take that duty cause the trade off is I'll see you guys at the pass Saturday morning!
