Outstanding pictures and information Rick!! Catching big trout is not for those in a hurry, or faint of heart. After all of those agonizing minutes of patient retrieve, the ensuing battle is heart stopping

Thanks Mike, yes I'll be in Gorda till the end of April or the first of May when I move back to the Pass and West bay areas.

Thanks Capt. Steve, I will fish all week for one bite this time of year and not even get discouraged if I don't get a bite at all. One big bite a month would do me just fine!! It's not for everyone, I've caught a bazillion limits of good trout over 35 years... now I just want trout in the 9-10 lb range so I can photograph and release and surely don't mind the grind to get them especially this time of year.

Awesome fish. That one is a true Pig. Good information also, love getting big trout to eat topwaters this time of year, but at times it takes extreme patience.

I know exactly what you mean. Catching small trout just doesn't hold a candle to the big ones. My only problem this year is having a boat that is quiet in the shallows again and not being able to get over the obsession I have with sight casting. I have been spending a lot of time trying to sight cast big trout, with limited success this year. It's amazing how sensitive and selective those big girls are. I have been watching them a lot, just not catching them that way.

We need to get together down there sometime, it's intruiging to see what those fish do up on the flats. I will be spending some serious time looking for them in both bays next week.
