Headed out with a few buddys about 5 this morning to hit the surf. 1st spot was Jamaica Beach and 3rd cast on a TopWater caught a 18" trout. Fished till daylight to see all the dirty water and decided to head towards the pass.
Got back in the water around Sea Isle and water was in a little better shape and within 5 cast we caught 3 keeper trout. We were getting pretty steady action for about 30 minutes and then the bite slowed down. Caught a few more on plastics and got out of the water about 9. We caught a total of 15 trout all released to fight another day. It was nice hitting the surf for the 1st time this year and fishing TopWaters my favorite.
Good job NetBoy catching your 1st trout on Tops. I think he was hooked after seeing his lure fly through the air 2-3 feet after a huge blowup.
Lures were Black/Chartreuse Skitterwalks, Electric Chicken B&L paddle tails, brown swim baits.
Sorry no pics, forgot the camera at the house
