...where I'm the only participant
All jokes aside, the decrease in water quality has impacted fishing to the point where the effort to catch a trout of all things is enormous. Interestingly, the redfishing is still fair but the small snook and mangrove snapper fishing has picked up. I've caught about a dozen mangroves (mostly on topwater) in my past two trips on the flats.
The snapper have been in the sandier areas in deeper water 2-5' adjacent to the flats and around the spoil islands. Most of the snook are tight to the islands. I'm a die hard topwater tosser (probably to a fault), so most of my catches have been on a silver/green skitterwalk. The rest of the fish have come on green/gold fleck zman paddle tail with 1/8 oz. jighead.
That's funny. Nice redfish, that sucks all the storm water is messing up the eco system up north. The before and after pictures off the rivers when they open the spillways are absolutely disgusting! Good to see a yak report.
Thanks for the report and nice fish.
