Is it spring yet? The past few weeks have been more like spring than winter. The temperatures on the water have been up in the upper 80’s and the fishing has been just as hot. The reds have started schooling the past week on the flats in 2 feet or less. The schools of bait have been growing larger and larger every day. And a few trout have been starting to show up on the outer edge of the flats.<br><br>Our beat catches have come between 0900 and 1100 in 2 feet or less. Just look for the schools of reds holding 20 feet or more from a shoreline and look for tails. Most of the bait will not hold in the same water as these fish because they know they will be lunch.<br><br>This week all of our fish we caught where on: <br><br>Cotee Reel Magic - chartreuse (63) <br><br>MirrOlure's Top Pup 74MR-21 rigged with a Daiichi Bleeding Hook on the front <br><br>MirrOlure's Catch 2000 rigged with a Daiichi Bleeding Hook on the front <br><br>Cotee 3" Swirl Tails Clear silver flake <br><br><br><br>See you on the water<br>Capt.
