Kenny, Hayward, Allen, and Jay made the trek from Mobile AL down to Hopedale for 2 days of trout and redfish action and that is what they got.
Thursday Day 1: Beautiful dead calm conditions so I headed straight out to Black Bay looking for trout. NO TIDE! Fishing was slow but the guy's put a respectable catch of trout on ice by about 10:00. Things were not picking up so I headed for the marsh to find some reds to stretch their lines. Made a few stops and got a few at each and then found a cove that produced 10. Dead shrimp under corks and the guy's had their limit on ice by 1:30
32 TROUT
20 REDS
3 DRUMS
Friday Day 2: Different day different conditions we had light chop on the bay this morning but things calmed as the morning wore on. We got the reds yesterday and I was determined to get them a good box of trout today. Well we found the trout but not the big ones I wanted but they eager to take our baits Chartreuse beetles titelined on ¼ oz heads. We caught and released trout all morning building a nice box of eating size trout 13to14 inch range with a few bigger trout mixed in. Made a couple of stops on the way in to top off the catch with a few reds and drums. Two great days and a lot of fun fishing with some good people.
