Hot Trout Bite!



Guided Mr. Aaron Sago today for some trout/redfish action in East and Blackwater bay. We hit the Water around 1 oclock and headed to a couple deep water areas near east bay. We managed 2 slot reds and a rat within the first few minutes then the action slowed. We ran back towards blackwater bay checking a number of different spots with no luck. The tide wasn’t moving much and with all the mullet dead it seemed, that the normal hot spots were not producing fish. Before heading north to chase stripers, I ended up checking a deep hole a couple miles south of the i10 bridge and it was on! We would drop a 1/4oz jig head down 20ft and the second it hit the bottom you were on. We pulled about 30 trout and several reds then moved on towards the bridge. The area around the bridge was holding a few big fish but it was tough to get them to bite. We managed a couple nice fish around the bridge and called it a day. We ended up with about 35 trout and 7 reds. Surpisingly the trout were big! Most of them ranged from 16 to 20″ with several 22 and 1 right at 25″. We looked around for stripers at dark but they were MIA!
