Another day, another Inshore Slam with South Again charters!! Today I guided Ben on a six hour trip. We met at Shoreline Park early in anticipation of catching a good Trout bite in Santa Rosa Sound. We started out throwing Topwaters and Mirrodines in 3′-5′ 0f water and found a really consistent bite. Unfortunately the fish were mostly 12″-14″ fish and a barely keeper mixed in occasionally. We worked the grass flats from the Sound to Big Lagoon boating around 18 to 20 trout and a slot redfish by 9 o’clock.
We then switched gears and went in to Flounder mode. The Flounder seem to have started to move out of the deeper water in the Pass the last few days so we targeted them on Docks and Piers. The bite was very slow and we were only able to land two small fish to put in the cooler. The catfish seem to have moved in thick on all my favorite structure so we changed gears again and went for our Redfish.
After a few blank drifts we finally got bit. We managed a double header of Slot fish and called it a day. The tide is a little off right now and the bite is not as hot as it has been in the last few weeks. But we managed to fight and put a nice cooler full of fish together for Ben and his family!
…………. See you out there
