Hey first time posting, long time subscriber. Went out this morning for 4 hrs and we caught 14 trout and a flounder. We were using lures, either subsurface plugs or tidal surge split tails in plum color. There was a lot of horse mullet everywhere but managed to find pods of finger mullet. We covered a good amount of water with the trolling motor and made multiple drifts over areas that were holding fish. They key for us today was being mobile and just methodically covering more water. I found that if the spot we were at had bait that seemed like it was being attacked but didn't produce we had to move on and it worked out in our favor. Nothing is more frustrating than bait moving frantically and zero slot size takers. Can't explain it but we caught most of our fish where bait was present but not being frantically chased around. I did catch a few small specs in the areas where bait was being chased and decided to hunt for larger ones. I believe the larger ones were holding on ledges near bait and that how we were able to have success. I feel like this is a rant now but want to be informative to any newcomers out there looking to score a tip. Also talked to a new resident that moved here from Virginia to work for ExxonMobil on the north side of town. I gave him some general info and some places to try. I love sharing helpful info since I know how rough it can be to get started working our vast Bay system. Also threw in a few trout recipes. Well guys let me know how this write up went
Biggest trout was right at 23" but no scale.
