This 24″ trout was caught and released in big pass.
Fishing last week was consistent on the new moon. Trout, jacks, snapper and juvenile gag grouper provided steady action fishing with live bait on the deeper grass flats, as well as several small sharks.
We also caught and released several snook fishing the passes, also some mangrove snapper and a few gags up to 22 inches.
