The past several weeks have been producing very nice catches of reds and trout. As the warmer weather keeps moving in the earlier you must start. If you are targeting some trout, you will want to be at your fishing spot with lines in the water at about a half hour before any signs of light. Pig fish are working great. Freeline a little piggie off the bars and drop offs. If you want to get some reds the try sight casting a large shrimp or cut mullet to them. These fish are very spooky. I have been catching most(90%) of my reds in less then a foot of water. With this in mind a trolling motor does no good. If any thing it does more damge. These fish can hear this a very long distance away. If your boat/s are not able to go into very skinny water then psition yourself off the shallows and freeline a live mullet. At some point these fish will pick this scent up and move in for the kill.
