I was trying the Skitter Walk and my client was using a soft plastic bait. Not within mor than 10 minutes we or I should say he landed the first fish. A red about 22 inches. With the water temp around 53 degrees at sunrise the fish are being very sluggish. I switched to the soft plastic too; with this approach you can work it very slowly and allow the fish to see it, react to it and then eat it. By the time the sun came out it was around 10a.m. and we decided to fish further north. Working Oyster Bars and hard sand bars we we able to land by the end of the day 15 trout and 7 reds...
