Water Temp 71 degrees
After having a month of March to forget, Nancy and I finally got a chance to hit the water again.
The tide was right to hit the two hours before and two hours after the low tide.
I tied on new rigs trying to remember what to use in the spring. I just went with some Florida basics and the ol' trout trick on a jig head.
We wanted to see if the trout had grown any so we headed to our trout drops near the Broad River.
It didn't take long as I landed two nice trout that slammed my suspending jerkbait on a mud line that had developed as the tide was leaving the river.
These were some of the largest trout we had caught here in the low country, a 19" and a 17".
We fished a couple of other holes and caught two more keeper trout along with a few non keepers.
With the tide just starting to come back in we headed to our redfish holes. The first stop near some docks that didn't produce, but our next stop was on fire as four reds came aboard with one monster bull red escaping as it bent my hook straight after a brief battle.
It was a great start to spring fishing as the sight of fish in the boat and bald eagles made it a treat to be outside in the Lowcountry.
A quick tally for the day was 4 reds and 8 trout. Not a bad 4 hours of fishing.
