Despite the 20 to 30 mph winds we are having we are still managing to catch some solid fish wading protected shorelines with topwaters in the early morning and Corky's and Corky devil's later in the day. I have had some solid trout in the past few weeks fishing topwaters next to deep water where you have a strong current near by. Lower West Bay has been off and on and the fish are scattered. On most trips we are catching good trout just not in numbers, the fish are there just hard to zero in on. The redfish bite has been awesome in less than shin deep water, aggressive and blowing bait out of the water 10 feet from you and blow up on your topwater 3 or 4 times before eating it, it'll get you heart going...   Deeper shell and structure in the middle of the bay has been producing good numbers of solid trout to 6 lbs most around 2 or 3 pounds throwing 1/4 oz Bass Assassins.

Wading at night has been good to great on trout and big redfish when the wind allows. Topwaters and Bass Assassins have worked really well. The back lakes are also holding huge redfish around shell pads. Topwaters and braided line have been the ticket in catching these fish when the jig wont get through the toeheads.
