[Sneekypete]

The best colors for me last year and most years in the surf are Mirrorlures 51 & 52 series in CH11 & the Norcross CH.Even in sandy water these produced all summer.As soon as the waves drop hit the surf no matter the water color or temp.It is plenty warm for specks I catch trophys in 54 degree water every year.

I'll have to give those slow-sinking mirrolures a shot. With 9 hooks on each you think I'd be able to hang a few....

Do you ever throw topwaters in the surf? I started trying that last year, but only got 1 trout a few times.

How about fishing the first gut? Do you start at the first gut before daybreak like people say is best?

superspooks in any chrome color works for me in the surf. big ol topwaters to keep the little fish off. Always start in the first gut. My dad never gets wet and he always catches quality. He said he's too old to be fighting waves and getting tired. My dumb butt won't listen and will fight it out on the second bar with the sharks.

too many bozo's fishing in there now. Wish they would have never put up that new bridge. My and my dad would hammer the trout and flounder back there year round. Now that place looks like a parking lot almost every day. if you get a late start, don't even bother trying to go down there, its already full.

nah, I am talking about the bozo's that set up on the bank and fish with 20 rods soaking bait. I'll be down there after work during the week. I don't do weekends over there. I usually take off here at 4 and in the water by 5-5:15. I like to fish about 50-100 yards away from the mouth though. I am going to BR this saturday with my son after his game. opening day. I need to get my topwater box from 007's boat before he starts chunkin them and I don't seem them ever again.

i go rite thru or around the end or over those bozos line and go on out there to the shallower bars way out! i use softplastics this time of year and usually in the jetty pocket quintana side. i use tops also but jigs seem better early for me. i do the same thing i usually get there around 4:30 pm if i dont go before work. depends on my crazy work hours.

Cool, I'm pumped

This year I think I will try to break my live-shrimp addiction for surf trout.... but man I've had some good trips with those little skrimps. Too much trouble keeping them alive and waking up extra early to buy them though.

Is the mouth of the Brazos in between the jetties, or the river-looking thing that is SW of it?
