Trout fishing better than ever

I would have to say that last month the Trout bite took first place and will continue to be hot throughout September. Target the deeper grass flats in 9-12 feet of water. Early in the day, while the water is calm, I like to throw top water plugs; later in the day, I then fish deeper in the water column. I prefer to bounce a ¼-ounce jig with a 3-4" GULP shrimp across the grass. Work these baits as slow as possible. Free-lined Pin fish are also producing some quality Trout. These tactics will also have Sea Bass, Mackerel, Shark, Jacks, Bluefish, small Grouper and more, pulling drag. That's what I love about drift fishing the deeper grass flats; you never know what's going to hit next! Good luck and tight lines! Capt.
