Trip Summary
June/August fishing has been hot, hot, hot! Creeks and shorelines are loaded with shrimp, crabs, mud minnows, and mullet so the fish have had no shortage of food. Open water I'm seeing large school of menhaden working in and out of the inlets as well as holding off of the back side of the breakers near the beach.
Having a great bite consecutively first thing in the morning. On spinning gear in creeks, live shrimp and minnows on around 8" of leader have been working well. I've also had really good luck with center cut portions of mullet for Redfish. When fishing open water cut menhaden on a cork with 2.5-3ft of leader have been also working well for Reds. Early morning bite has also been producing fish on top water plugs as well. For Flounder I have had the best luck with throwing Gulp translucent Scooby shrimp rigged weedless and retrieving extremely slow bouncing on the base of oyster mounds at creek mouths. Also Voodu's and DOA shrimp have been doing well bringing flounder to the boat.
Fly fishing has been a blast. Small light weighted flys have been the ticket for me. Clouser minnows and shrimp patterns have been the most productive. Ive liked a darker colored black/purple clouser and natural colored shrimp. With the barometric pressure staying in the 30's i've been focusing on flys that will not make much of a splash and giving my Redfish a lot of lead, allowing the fish to find the fly and not the other way around.
