West Bay Slow fishing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had a 2cooler and his two sons on my boat today for a west bay trip where they were mainly interested in learning the way around and trying some of the more common spots for trout, reds and flatties.

We hit VP/Campbells early with ZERO luck... No birds to speak of in the area, and not much bait. There were a few folks running around and an SCB FLYING around lol.

Next we hit N Deer and confederate.. There were alot of boats in these area's too and it didnt look like anyone was doing much. We had a few dinks over in the area and that was it.

We over and drifted Meacoms and picked up 4 trout. Then we headed down the south shoreline to look at a few coves. Got do Dana and it was covered up with kayaks, so we decided not to bother them and headed over to drift by Carancahua reef with only a few sheepies to show for it.

Stop by a few more spots and had a few more dink trout, 1 slot red and a few bites.

ALL in all it was VERY SLOW day for us.. We were using shrimp under midcoast corks and KFMs. I sure hope someone knocked em dead today.It was a beautiful day.. Thanks to Harry and Sons.

It was about the same for me today, I fished the lutes tournament, stayed on the north shoreline. What a mistake, Ended up with a few small trout But it was a nice day on the water. Need more days like today.

West Bay is usually slow! I fished this afternoon for a couple of hours and caught two reds (one 24" keeper) and one small trout. I was in a cove on the south shoreline and bait was everywhere. I tried tons of different lures and could not get them to bite. I fish in West Bay because of convenience not because it is a good place to fish.

it was dead for me today.. no fish and 2 bent blades on the prop after hitting something while trying to get on a plane...

There's a lot of truth to that, especially mid-West. There is more structure and fish on either end...
