Mid-Bay Trout & Back Marsh Reds
Capt. Donnie Heath’s fishing report is strong from Tuesday. “A little update for you on throwing soft Plastics and topwater this morning. As we were headed across the bay this morning a strong West Wind started blowing in having to pull an audible we shot to some back Lakes and started working over grass and mud pockets finding plenty of trout and redfish. With full limits of trout and redfish. We released over 25 keeper trout and several too many to count undersized trout and plenty of keeper redfish up to 26 inches long. The top water bite was good until mid-morning then changing over to soft plastics seem to do the trick.”
Duck Report
Duck hunting is looking strong ahead of the first decent cold front this weekend. Capt. James Cunningham amd Capt. Chris Cady report solid decoy action on slick winds. Species being taken include Pintail, Wigeon, Gadwal, Teal, Bluebill, Canvasback, and the occasional Shoveler.
