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!
