Surface water temperature 63 degrees, water clarity very good We were able to fish near and off the
shore reefs again this week, and both areas produced very good catches of trout, and Bull Reds on our
artificial lure trips in the 4-to-5-foot depth range. Once we find nervous bait activity, the active fish are
close by. We also targeted mud flats with scattered shell around pinch points with current and nervous
bait, with great success in the 2.5-to-3-foot depth range. Shrimp imitation lures with Fish Smack popping
corks, with 14” - 18” leaders have still been producing the most bites for our anglers, resulting in great
success on our chartered trips, as well as ¼ oz jig heads with paddle tails without popping corks fished
slowly. On our live bait trips, live shrimp have produced consistently, and provided plenty of line tugging
action for our fishing clients, fished under a popping cork and 24” leaders producing the most consistent
bites. The Front that pushed thru really has increased the bite and anticipate that to continue over the
next few days.

Also, got to get my Dad out on the water for the first time in a couple years due to continued health issues, so it was great to get him out on the water and put him on some non-stop catching action.
