Trout Time With Captain Stephen!

With these gorgeous fronts that are pushing through the trout bite has been starting to fire off on artificial‘s. I recommend using anywhere from an 1/8th ounce Eyestrike Trout Eye Jighead up to a 1/4 ounce jighead and I have been catching fish on almost any color of Zman including Rootbeer Minnowz with a chartreuse tail, Fried Chicken EZ ShrimpZ and 5 inch Slam Shady paddlers.
The water temperature has been 74 to 75° for the past few days which has fish in a feeding mood. The redfish have been chewing well at low tide on the Zman Kicker CrabZ in the red bone color and the live mullet bite has been on fire. There have been lots of mullet schools around and when I’m fishing live mullet I like to use three different rigs. I like to have one on a bottom rig even if I’m in shallow water. I also like to have one under a cork suspended and I also like to have one free lined. A pro tip that I like to do is to trim the tail of the mullet which makes it distressed which is a flashing siren to the game fish.
Get out and go fishing!
Till next week,
Captain Stephen
