Water temp: 85
The idea was to go to the shoals, do some drifts in 10 feet of water, catch some trout for company coming in, go catch some pinfish, jump a tarpon on the pinfish and come back to the ramp.
Everything went fine except the tarpon part, but at least a shark gave us a cheap thrill.
We caught 2 eating size trout and one 21" trout on the drifts at the shoals. Caught 4-5 under sized trout also.
Nancy was banging the bottom with gulp on a jig head and I was throwing a Fat Boy.
I have used it in the past but didn't have any trout to show for it. While working at the store a guy came in and told me I had been working it way too fast.
He said to count it down to 10 or 15 and just do a twitch, kind of like fishing for spots at Lanier in February with jerk baits.
The Fat Boy falls back down at every pause and when the trout want it they really eat it.
This nice 21" really fought hard and after a good battle, came on board.
Gonna pick up a couple more of them today at Academy Sports as mine got chewed up pretty good yesterday.
