Hot fishing w/bubbas kenner. 3 limits quick!
Water clarity: Green to tha beach!
Wind: none-10 mph.
Tide: High outgoing
Time: 7-9am
Went out on a beautiful morning today with Bubbas Kenner and a friend of ours. Decided to take the flats boat out for a spin. Fished between freeport and the causeway. Out at the water @ 7am as the sun was coming up we tried our first spot with no luck. Didn't stay very long, 20-30 minutes max until THIS happens...
Funny story: 2 boats roll up to us and it looked like two older caucasian gentleman wanted to fish our spot. I didn't mind it too much until this...
"You guys got about 2 more casts and then I'm throwin..." The older guy whips out his cast net and casts it out right in the area we were throwing. What? I felt so embarrassed for him but I'm the type of person to just let things go because to me getting in a fight over a fish or a small area when I can fish multiple spots isn't worth it. If we would have been catching fish I would have told him he's got one cast with his cast net before I jump the bow of my little flats boat with my anchor, chunk it out at his boat, either put a hole in his boat or pull his a** about 5 feet closer to stick him in the mud, toss him out and show him how young bucks do but like I said, it's just not worth all that so I bit my tongue. Gonna have respect for people and I'm not gonna give people around here a bad name so we just drove off.
That put a real bad spin on what was a beautiful morning but we cruised to spot #2 around some flats that two channels run through.
I found solid thuds in the water and it doesn't get any easier than that so we stopped. Mullet were fleeing quickly with their tails down so I knew it was topwater time (I was gonna throw it anyway). First cast with the skitterwalk I get blown up on by a solid 21" trout that jumped out of the water like a tarpon with it in his mouth shaking his head. I knew he was good and I also knew we had found the right area.
The friend of ours Bubba bought had never thrown top waters before, needless to say he got his limit working it like I was...very fast retrieve, no pauses and when they hit it speed it up even faster. I think the fish were hungry after the last cold front that kept them from eating the way they wanted to.
By 9am we all 3 had our limits with fish ranging from 15" all the way to 23-24". All fish were caught on top-waters. Bait of the day was again the pearl skitterwalk. That's slowly becoming my favorite topwater over the spooks. Loving the way it sounds in the water, sounds like a spray paint bottle when you shake it and it's producing much more quality trout than the smaller spook jr.'s.
Anyways, hope yall are having as much luck as we are lately. All the hard work and times getting skunked on the water is starting to pay off.
Also want to give scumlord and fp10 some props...scumlord can fish circles around me and has pointed me the right direction for some hot areas. I'm branching off a lot of them finding my own ways around the area but without him helping me out I'd still be finishing days much less successful.
