January 3,2016 Weatherman said sunny skies and a nice day. It was cold and raining when we left the boat ramp. After about an hour or two, it did stop raining and turned out to be a really nice winter day. North winds were calm enough to run the entire lake. Kind of a tough day of fishing, but we did manage to catch some nice Redfish, Speckled Trout, and a Flounder. First cast, we were quite surprised after a long hard battle, a big alligator was pulled up to the boat. The Gator showed his back, straightened out the hook, and took off, after a 30 minute fight. I thought it was a big drum at first, but it was an Alligator. Did catch a mess of Sheepshead and Black Drum. We caught some Speckled Trout under some flocks of birds, but it was hard to get any size to them. Caught some Trout on a Fat Boy Corkie and Gulp minnows. Caught a lot more fish on Live Shrimp. Water temperature was from 51 to 58 degrees.

Sounds good considering all the freshwater coming down the river. Do you normally use artificial and also live bait? Kind of looks like East Pass area? Good report, thanks!

Solid post! Good job.
