Trip Summary

With the cold water came some challenges. Shrimp were hard to come by today. I pulled out mai deck of cards and we played some soft plastics with jigheads and got a little bit of trout in under two hours. While catching trout, we caught a couple of ladyfish. With the time we had left, we turned those into a few red fish. I'm a big fan of using jigheads. The added weight to the end of the line makes it easy to cast baits. While the temperatures are cold, remember, the fishing can be hot.
