TROUT ARE BACK


9-17-2019--Trout had been hard to find in our area until today. Today we caught 2 nice stringers of trout and reds between 10 and 12 AM. To begin the day my half of a two boat trip was cancelled because the fishermen celebrated too much the night before. I took my boat out of the water and returned the the bait stand with the live shrimp I had intended to use for black drum and redfish. I traded the shrimp in for some croaker and and set out to look for trout in Copano. I made two wades on reefs and one on the shoreline but only caught two hardheads. About 9:30 AM I was putting the boat on the trailer to move to St. Charles bay an old friend happened to show up. After I told him my experience with Copano he decided not to fish there. He joined me for the trip to St. Charles. Once in the water I saw some pelicans working just outside St. Charles in Aransas Bay. We eased in and put the power pole down. After wading only about 50 yards from the boat we started gettng bites. The fish were nice size trout and mid-slot size redfish. We caught two nice stringers with reds and trout mixed before a rainstorm hit.
