Fished with Vance a few weeks ago out of Cockroach Bay under some early summer patterns. We started early throwing topwater to snook and had a few blow ups right off the bat but not hook ups. Finally after moving a little into the back country did we get a taker and get one to the boat though it was pretty small. So as the tide was slowing down we made a run north to catch the last part of the falling tide at Schuster's hole. Well it was occupied so we figured we could find some trout in some of the pot holes and we weren't disappointed. The trout seemed to be hanging off the holes though and some of them came from the thick grass around the holes. The big trout of the day was one that jumped out of the water chasing bait 15 yards from the boat and took the shrimp a few seconds after it hit the water.
We caught a couple of nice trout and decided to run back south to fish some mangroves for snook and reds. We got back and set up in some of my favorite summer holes and did pretty well.
Some smaller reds and a nice snook at the first stop throwing up under the mangroves. We moved to a summer cut and first cast in Vance hooks and catches his first snook.
So by that point we had the boat slam all sealed up and were looking for enough fish to take home so I suggested we take a shot at one more hole out front where I've had some success in the summer and high tides. It wasn't long before I got on a nice red that made a really good dinner fish for Redfish tacos.
After that it was time to call it an afternoon and get back to clean fish and get the boat all cleaned up. Good day on the water with a couple of slams and some solid fish with some diversity as well.
