Surface water temperature 69 degrees. The water clarity is good for East Galveston Bay. We finally got a break from the Sea Fog and got to see the Sun, which has made for a great morning to be out on the water. Today the Trout bite was on fire using Salt & Pepper WACky Fluke tails by Wac Attack, as well as Rat Tails in Blue Moon by Deadly Dudley. We started out on Shallow Flats with scattered shell and the bite started right after daylight. We fished several areas all over East Bay today and found trout on all the flats we normally fish early Spring. Active bait in the area is important, so if you don't see bait or signs of life, don't spend a whole lot of time in the area. The redfish bite has been consistent around drains and in the very shallow water areas back in the marsh, as well as the Flats where we have been catching the trout. We are still using Imitation shrimp lures & tails under popping corks, with a 1-foot leader to trigger bites, if you like throwing a popping cork, but the winner has been the 1/8 oz jig head/tails setup. This time of year, brings some of the best opportunities for bigger fish, with fewer fishers on the water, and bigger fish on the prowl, so get out and make it happen with your family and friends. The Corky bite also is in full swing, so if you like throwing artificials that is a great bait to throw, as well as walking topwater baits, as well as slow failing jerk baits, when the conditions are lining up. Today we also broke out the ¼ oz swimbait and it was successful as well when we found the fish.
