Wow ! the weather finally feels like April and the fish are acting like they enjoy it as well.  The reds on the high tides have been dancing on their noses well in the grass, and the low water has been giving us great opportunities as well.  It shouldn’t long now and we will have many other  species to toss feathers at, and I for one can’t wait !  Big Jacks may be the best top water bite in fishing period !  Nothing like watching a hole school of 30 lbs jacks destroying your poppers, sometimes at your feet !

The good and the bad,  This was a first for me,  with cloud clover and a bit of wind Paul Rankin and I headed out for some bull reds on the beach front.  The forecast was to be 5 mph winds and sunny.  Wrong! Foggy west wind 10-13 mph   but we still found the bull reds!  These fish have been in 1-2ft of water busting on some mullet and shrimp trying to fatten up for the winter.  This was the first time Paul and myself were getting bummed about catching 15lbs reds.  The bigger fish in the 20-30lbs class range couldn’t really get their tails up due to the shallow water they were feeding in, and with no sun we just couldn’t pin point the bigger fish’s location after 2 15lbs range fish we decided to head out and get a better day.  On the other hand the fish in the 15lbs range were able to get their tails out of the water making them easy targets.  The reds are really busting some shrimp on the outgoing tides, and if the winds are tough on the reds the trout bite is insane right now.  A light spinning rod and a DOA shrimp with a popping cork or not will give one all the trout action they can stand.
