Glass Minnows 3-31

[Root Canal]

I went gigging for some flounder Saturday night. Reached my location well before the sun went down and was enjoying the sunset. I started walking before it was completely dark and was swarmed by thousands of 1/4" long
fish that I think were newly hatched Glass Minnows. They were attracted to my lantern. It was about 20 minutes before total darkness and suddenly the trout started a vicious attack 30 feet away from were I was standing.
The feeding lasted I would say for 40 minutes. Several times you could hear 5 or 6 hits going at the same time.
I've never seen this before, but have heard stories that this is a normal Spring time event.

I struck out on the flounder. Only thing I saw were 3 stingrays.

If I were to try and go for the trout...what would be the best lure to throw?
I would guess something small like a tandem speck jig in white.

TIA

I caught a flounder yesterday morning, when we brought him on the boat, he spit about 2 dozen of them across the deck.

If you were to go for the trout, then there would be hundreds of flounder in the area... That's what happens to me haha

Match the hatch, find some small lures about the same size. You might even try some RoadRunners.

I'm thinking the smallest top water you can find based on the report you gave.....
