Cloudy day redfish and trout

With winds blow over 20mph, I offered my clients the option to cancel but the wanted to go anyway. By the time we started, the clouds moved out and the sun allowed us to see both redfish and trout along a protected shoreline. Action was steady using a DOA 3" shad tail on a jighead and numerous redfish and trout were caught and released.

Tom joined me for two days fo fishing the flats of Mosquito Lagoon. The first day, the breezy conditions kept most of the other anglers at home allowing us to have the fish all to ourselves. Big seatrout could be spotted lying in shallow sandy holes and redfish were encountered in both schools and singles. The next day, it was glass calm and as it got light we were greeted with schools of redfish in every direction, The actions was setady all day with redfish and big trout eating both the 3" DOA CAL shad and the 5.5" CAL jerkbait. Clear water and sunny skies made for some excellent sight fishing conditions.

High winds on the flats made us decide to fish the backcountry islands today. With 100 live shrimp on board my clients got a bite on almost every one. We used ultralight tackle making even the small fish seem big. The action was so fast I barely had time to do anything but bait hooks and release fish. this is a great trip for poor weather, kids, or people with minimal experience. You never know what you may catch and the numbers are high.
