Fishing report
Report Date: January 14, 2008
The weather has still been up and down here lately. Just when you think it’s going to get cold and stay that way it heats up again. Unfortunately this makes finding those schools of trout a little tougher. Not impossible just tougher. Dave Callaway a good friend of Capt. Todd and I reports good trout fishing in some of the creeks and deeper bayous in East Bay. Some days he only catches a couple and other days like Thursday he catches 30 to 40 trout. Now not all of those trout are keepers of course but he did manage a nice limit on that day. Last Monday I fished Crooked Creek with a customer and we landed 21 trout with a total of 7 keepers. We used both sinking and suspending mirror lures in a natural bait color. During times like now when the temp is up and down keep moving up and down those creeks. Normally when you find one there are more. Moving water is the key Incoming and out-going tides, time your trip accordingly.
The redfish have been the same as they always are during the winter. They are still in schools (some bigger than others) and they are still a bit spooky. We have been catching anywhere from 2 to 7 fish a morning and these have all been really nice reds (see the pictures). We have been having better luck using the gold spoons over the last week or so than we have the soft plastic baits. That is more due to the wind than anything else. The spoons let use throw a little bit further than the soft plastics. If you have a flats boat, get it up as shallow as you can and start looking in front and deeper. If you don’t have a flats boat…..slowly pull up on the flats in whatever boat you have and get out and walk. The reds are there. The flats outside Crooked Creek have been real good as well as the flats just outside Warren Bayou.
