Bayfishing for speckled trout has been good to excellent depending on the wind and tide. Saturday morning on a trip until 11am my party of Mike Smith of Houston and Scott from Ohio and myself had 14 specks, 2 reds, and 2 flounder. The trout were up to four pounds and both reds were right at 26” in length. The flounder were solid 3 pounders which has been common for the spot that I have been working in East Bay. All of the fish hit Bass Assassins- redshad and glow/chartreuse tail. A few days earlier I had a half day that produced 23 specks to six pounds and two keeper redfish. Quinton Skinner and son Alex Skinner were very pleased with their catch. All of the fish were caught in East Bay on redshad Bass Assassins in 2 feet of water over shell.



On 11/21 I took Rick Robbins and Russ Clark redfishing. By the end of the day we had three limits of redfish. The fish ranged from 25”-27.5” in length.
