No-motor Zone<br>11/12/2001 report by Craig Redwine<br>The No-motor zone remains closed. But the fish are still being caught elsewhere. Canoe fishing has proved to still be productive. This weekend I found Redfish close to shore and in shallow water getting some sun and being very spooky a very quiet and slow approach is required. Most catches have came on a 1/2 D.O.A shrimp once a fish is spotted present the bait correctly and the fish can't refuse. The largest one was 30" and the smallest was 15" was and total of eight fish were landed and many missed.<br><br>Trout catches are steady most on topwater lures like the good ol Zara spook, Top pup and my favorite the Chug Bug. Lets hope all goes well and all closed areas reopen soon. And please remember to take discarded fishing lines to it's proper place ...
