Trout were our targeted fish this past week.
The Trout last week were the target fish for the anglers aboard Casual Lies out of CB’s Saltwater Outfitters.
We caught Trout that were 26 to 27 inches on the shallow grass flats (all were released). Electric Chicken colored CAL jigs worked on the Pompano that were up to 16 inches.
Bluefish, Jacks, Mackerel and Ladyfish were all over the flats around the bay. I think the best time people had was catching the Sharks in the bay on cut Ladyfish.
The Bonnethead, Blacktip and Sandbar Sharks only went about 15 to 25 pounds but on light tackle, they are a blast.
