Trout Hole, Red Hole

11.16.14

Water temp: 57 degrees

In fishing the area the last few months, I have found two holes that work real well when the tide is right.  All we need is two cups of gas, two rods, two jigheads and two twister grubs in mud minnow color and we are in business.

After a misty cold morning the rain and fog got out of here and the tide was forecasted as low at 10:30AM.  Since we had the two cups of gas, we geared up in our long johns and headed over to the red hole first.

They were there as I broke one off on the oyster shells, had a pig just come unbuttoned, and put two in the boat that were just keepers.

Nancy caught one on the tourist rig tipped with a white gulp and I got one on the jig head.


After admiring both of them and checking out their blue tails we released both as there isn't much meat on a just keeper.

Two more passes and the reds had abandoned the area, so we decided to head over to the trout hole.

We sure weren't disappointed as we caught trout after trout.  We had to weed our way through dozens of 12"-13" trout to get to three keepers that came home with us.


This is a nice 18'+ that was wearing size husky.  

The tide finally got high enough that the bite slowed and we decided to burn the other cup of gas to motor home.  

A very good trip, now if I can just expand to a few other holes!

Tough Weekend

11.8-9

Water temp 63 degrees

Hunter got out of the office and wanted to get outdoors, so he ventured  into town this past weekend.

The tides didn't work too well for us as we seemed to be fishing water a lot bigger than we were used to.

Saturday we hooked up with the local gigging semi pro Griffin.

We hit a lot of his spots that hold fish at night, but all he kept saying was "c'mon low tide".  The low tide didn't occur until we got the boat out of the water.

We still managed 9 trout with 3 being keepers.  All were caught on a jighead and soft bait reeled very slowly back to the boat.

Hunter and I gave it a try Sunday before he headed back to C-town.

We hit out spots that produced a couple of weeks ago, but again the water was way up.

We zeroed which didn't feel to good, but we got to see the dolphins put on a show.

Still learning!
