I fished with Greg a few weeks ago at the Fort and we ended up doing pretty well even though it was a kinda slow tide and subsequent bite. We started off by drifting a trout flat and caught quite a few trout up top along the pot holes on top water. Nothing huge but good solid fish on top. We had a couple of close encounters with some big sharks and had one almost suck down a fly and we saw something very large chase a top water (probably a cobia) but we weren't able to get a good bait out there in front of it to find out.
After drifting for a while we decided to go into the cut and chase some reds and unfortunately we found the kayakers but did find some reds. First fish came at the first stop along some oyster bars but nothing else. Then we moved to the back and first cast in the middle of the mullet in the broken water yielded a lower slot fish so we set up and fan casted the pot holes and found a couple of upper slot reds just like the one below.
That was pretty much it for the day as the tide peaked out and it was time to run back to the house to clean up one of the fish we kept to split for dinner.
I also went out with Dr. Schuster to Cockroach Bay two weeks ago and it was slow slow slow. We only caught three fish and I did get the inshore slam the trout was a large as the snook and the red. We never even made it to Schuster's Hole as the weather man lied to us and the waves and wind kicked up so we were pretty much forced to fish the inside areas. I did find a couple of new spots to look at on some new tides so I will have to check those areas out again as we get into some higher water times.
