Holly Beach that is! The last several days has found us drifting parts of Holly Beach, just east of Laguna Vista. Water has been some what off colored, but clear on the north shores. The fish are there...Big trout and reds. we have been drifting water in the 18" depth range. The fish have been laying in the potholes and on the grass edges. The secret seems to be stealth and long casts. We have been taking fish on several lures and colors. The big trout have been taken on Zara Spook Jrs., Livingston Topwaters, and paddle tail soft plastics. Colors...redfish brown,livingston red, and red/white paddle tails.
Redfish are being taken mainly on spoons, but occassionaly they are blowing up on topwaters.
We found good numbers of keeper trout north by Cavallo Island.
It appears that the brown tide has done a number on grass in Cullen Bay. I have never seen so much area vacant of grass. I had heard it was bad, but if I hadn't seen for myself I wouldn't have belived it. I've been told that Rattlesnake bay has also suffered.
We are headed to Port Mansfield this coming weekend for an outing with Livingston Lure founder, Robert C. and a number of his comprades!
Take care...release those big trout! David and I have agreed to release any trout over 22".
