Speckled Trout
Trip Summary
Trip Summary
As the temps start to rise in the south, so do the water temps. The magic number here in Shell Beach, Louisiana, is 58 degrees. We catch trout and reds in 40 degree and above, but for that harder fighting and faster action, 58 degrees and up is what im looking for. They come oout of the deeper bays and holes after day break and hit the shallow flats to warm up from the night temps. We dont have live shrimo at the marinas rite now, but when you put a matrix shad swim bait under a cork, it's hard to resist.
