snook report

Despite only making two trips this week, the fishing was productive and showed promising signs for the upcoming weeks.

On my first trip, windy conditions led me to seek shelter on the protected sides of spoil islands. This decision paid off, and I was able to find:

– Smaller snook on the windblown points of the islands
– An abundance of bait and a healthy number of trout on the protected sides, with the largest measuring up to 20 inches

The Mirrolure Lil John was the lure of choice, and I noticed that long pauses triggered many hits.

My second trip, which took place early this morning, focused on fishing docks. Getting out just before sunrise proved to be beneficial, as most of my catches occurred before 7:30 am. The fish showed a strong preference for the 4″ paddle tail.

Additionally, I’ve been observing:

– Good schools of mullet moving through the river, indicating that the fishing should start heating up shortly

Look for another update next Tuesday!
