Slow fishing

Right now it is hard to catch fish the water temp is returning to 55 deg. yesterday.Tried to run about 15 miles from Port A to some state water rigs and the red snapper were there but not biting.I was not on a paid trip just trying out some places to see if fish were present.The water is starting to clear from the recent heavy rains ,so this should start to pickup in a few weeks. I have not seen or heard of anything biting since Christmas except a few sheep's head. I fished in the bays a little with dead shrimp and Berkly gulp ,only caught a few spotted trout undersized witting ,perch sand trout and a few hard heads.
There is no live shrimp anywhere that Brad or I have found.Perch and if you are really lucky you might get some mud minnows for live bait right now.
The water clarity is getting better since the rain ,and the black drum should be showing up in big numbers soon.

Huge Trout

The south jetty is producing huge trout right now,several over 30" .The bad thing is you only get to keep one fish because they are all over 25" . Sheep's head are biting anywhere there is rocks. The flounder are slowing down a bit,but still catching a few.

45" red drum

Went out today about 10;oo am . Tried several places with very little success .Finally found some huge mangrove snapper by the navel station .caught about 15 using mud minnows ,small perch ,and shrimp. found 7 flounder at the Fina Docks,only 3 were keeper's. Got a 45" red there too.My scales only go to 30 lbs. so I do not know how much it weighed.

Flounder

Went out Thursday just fishing ,after a party that did not show up.Had to use some of the 58,00 in live bait, Caught 4 keeper flounder.black drum and 5 keeper sheep's head near the north jetty.
Went out today same place got 1 flounder lost several nice ones .To catch a flounder wait as long as you can before setting the hook.Got a pompano and some sheep's head on the south jetty.Hooked 3 small tarpon on the north jetty.Found small trout and small red fish in the ICW by Arkansas Pass.
