Tide: Rising
Technique: Popping corks, topwater lures
Dwayne and I fished a few different spots, caught a few fish at each stop.
At the first stop, Dwayne caught a nice red on a topwater lure at sunrise. Made for a great picture (shown below). I had a topwater blowup, and tossed a popping cork with a Salty Bay soft plastic to the spot where the fish showed interest in my plug. A couple twitches and I was on.
We fished down the bank, looking for a school of feeding fish without success. We ran the boat to the next stop, a shallow water bay with a grass bed bottom. As we moved down the bank, we found a number of feeding fish. I tossed a topwater, immediately hooked up, only to have the feisty red shake the hook. We grabbed our phones to shoot video, and took turns catching fish. I hooked another on a topwater lure and landed it. Then Dwayne followed up with a popping cork fish further down the bank.
Made another quick run, and I had a topwater strike. Popping cork didn't land the fish, so we began to think it was a speckled trout. A few casts of the topwater later, and I land a 18" trout. Then we moved east about 2 miles for our final stop, a huge grassbed flat. No luck at this spot, so we called it a morning.
