Little Bays....Big Fish

Mexiquito has always produced some very good quality fish for me and my fishing friends. It is a very shallow bay with lots of potholes. These potholes seem to attract the big trout. A number of guides fish croakers in this area and work from pothole to pothole.Ive seen pictures of two 32" trout that were taken from the area. My largest trout ever, a 29.7" came from this little bay on a topwater.
Yeasterday the winds were again howling, but this spot of water seems to remain fairly clear until the boats start running across the shallows.
We hit it at daybreak and almost immediately I landed a nice 25" trout. I handed my camera to my friend David with insturctions to capture a pic before I released it. He said he snapped several, but later I found they were not there.
We managed to pick up three good reds before I needed to be back in for a trip to Brownsville. I think anytime you can fish for a couple of hours, catch a 25" trout and several slot reds, its been a good morning.
We were using topwaters, silver spoons, and 5" white and brown splittail Gulpon 1/16 ounce heads. We were fishing the Gulp by using a slow retrieve and dropping action.
