TROUT EVERYWHERE

6-25-2011--Fished with the same group the last three days. Each morning if we would have kept all the legal fish we would have had limits by about 8:30. The group only kept enough fish for a couple of meals each day and released the rest. Each day we went looking for redfish after catching a lot of trout but we only caught more trout. For the tournament today they needed trout and redfish. We went looking for reds after the trout again this morning and were rewarded with larger trout, 2 of which were 25 and 1/2 inches. One of the fishermen did catch an upper slot red but they needed either 2 or 3 of them. I don't know yet whether their trout were big enough to win anything or not. We fished with piggy perch in Corpus Christi bay the first day. The second and third days we used croaker and fished in the Upper Laguna Madre. We saw reds each day including a couple of large schools but we couldn't seem to catch them.
