I was wading in the dark this morning catching a few trout. Ballyhoo were abundant and I occasionally hooked one. At dawn the bite picked up on the blk/chrm one knocker. After the sun hit the horizon, smaller lure like a SS clown worked better. After 7:00 as it warmed up and the fish moved slightly deeper, I switched to jigging with a rootbeer red glitter Lil' John on 1/8th oz. jig. The size of the jigged fish were much larger than the ones earlier on topwater. I caught 4 or 5 4#ers and the potlickers moved in. One boat drifting close behind me which was fine, and a Jon boat with 3 guys throwing Croakers came all the way around behind me and up on my left so they could drift across in front of me right where I was casting. By 8:00 it was over and I came in for breakfast. Tide was ripping in, light N NW wind.
I did have another scrappy Mackeral on top without it attacking me. All fish released...a good morning!
