After a relatively slow few weeks, with only a couple of brief fishing trips, I managed to squeeze in a productive evening on the water. Strong currents and tannic waters made for challenging conditions, but using current to my advantage paid off.

Catch:

– 1 large snook
– Several small snook
– Several small trout

Lures:

– Z-Man 4” Diezel MinnowZ (Purple/Black with Glitter)
– 5” Salt Strong Bomber (Black/Purple)

Tips:

– Use strong currents to your advantage
– Target areas with bait activity and structure (potholes, oyster beds, drop-offs)
– Fish calm water pockets behind mangroves
– In tannic waters, dark lures excel (purple, black); add glitter for extra visibility during full moon phases
