Boy does time fly! Seems only yesterday I was writing a report for March and we're already turning into May. Anyways....back to my report.
The last two weeks my customers have seen some ups and downs on their fishing trips with me because of the weather (storms/fronts). Most days we have been doing great on redfish and drum when the winds have been howling out of the east and south east. This kind of fishing is going to come to a sudden stop before long though on my boat. The winds should lay some now since we're getting into May and I will be concentrating more on trout than redfish and drum because of both the water warming up and croaker season upon us. BTY..the croaker are still a little small for "my taste", but they should be working and plentiful before long.
The few days I have been able to fish for trout the bite has been good except for yesterday when I couldn't get anything going for my customers in the bays I had been fishing. It was the day after a front coupled with a west wind (which I hate). I took a gamble and went to a new area that I hadn't fished in quite a while. The gamble saved the day!!! Made two anchors and my customers had their limit of 30 trout and a few black drum. We were ALL smiles from ear to ear.
Best baits for the redfish and drum have been live mullet or fresh dead, peeled shrimp fished on bottom. Live shrimp has been best for trout while using some sort of pop'n cork. I have not had many trips here lately that we have used artificial, so I can't tell you what has been working best on that side of the spectrum.
Until next time,
Remember when the cards are down and the bet is called, you have your Ace in the Hole.
