        We ended up 4 trout ,1 red, 1 black drum. While drifting emerald hole this morning we drifted through huge schools of reds but they wouldn’t bite.

        We are getting lunch and we might fish some where to night just have no clew where to go.
        We had the same experience. Fish a tournament this weekend every year for the last 15 years. We had our worst tournament ever. The winning box was the smallest since 2010.

              Getting caught up on this thread and it looks like weak fishing was pretty common last week...
              Got back from three days at the Chandeleur Islands dodging thunderstorms and throwing everything in the book at 'em and had a hard time getting the fish, especially reds to eat. Didn't try live or dead bait, but what we caught was caught on stuff that had a good tolerance for grass... lots of floating grass during tide change. Last year, our group of 12 brought home 400 trout and 50 reds... This year the group of 6 brought home 32 trout and 2 reds!! I had 40+" reds almost swim between my legs and other pods of 4 to 10 fish swimming around of the most beautiful sand/grass flats I've ever seen. I just could not make 'em eat... The trout and reds I did catch were on the TroutSupport "Grasswalker" lures. Can't wait until our October trip when hopefully things will have cooled off a bit and the reds are acting hungry... Truthfully, I've never had a great trip in August there... Fish just don't seem to be hungry. We could have caught 13-15" dinks all the time if we wanted to chase birds/slicks out in the open bay... That's just not my style over there because good size fish are hard to come by fishing like that in that particular fishery... We wore the surf out, but only caught a couple of trout after miles of wading and chunkin'... BUT, like others have posted, still better'n workin'... like I'm back doing now...

                        Nice! We fished Sunday morning as well but struggled to find fish. Caught several small trout. No keepers.

                            Where was this tournament?

                            I think I'm crazy but that looks like a Great White, but it could be a big tiger shark? Can you confirm?

                                That is a great pic! How skinny do you run that sled?
