5-22-2011--Trout have been tough to come by the last few days but I'm still convinced that there are a lot of trout in the bays. The winds have been so strong that we couldn't fish the outside shorelines or middle bay reefs. Thank goodness for redfish. Since my last report we haven't limited on trout but have limited twice on redfish. The one day I spent too much time trying for trout on a protected shoreline, we ended the day with zero keepers. Today with two young boys and their parents we managed to catch 8 reds and 2 trout. We first tried fishing outside Traylor Island but the wind was just too much and the bite too slow. We switched to reds in the flats and the bite was good until all of a sudden about 11 AM the reds quit and the hardheads took over. We fished for a couple more hours moving several times but caught no more keepers. Cut menhaden is still the bait of choice for reds but it takes a lot of it to feed the perch between redfish bites.
