2021 Salty H20 Fishing Thread!

[Capt Glenn]

Did well out there yesterday despite the wind. Me and my son caught 40+ trout, mix of spec and sand. Nothing over 17" though. Never left site of the boat ramp. Started with live shrimp, but when we were sure we were sitting on a bunch changed to gulp for less hassle. Despite all the trout my sons favorite fish of the day was the 4lb gaftop he caught.

I bet he had a blast. Good job!

As is typical for us that SW wind makes for a tough, tough bite.

One cool thing that I saw was a group of dolphins eating redfish. I pulled into a little protected shoreline with a gut out off the shoreline that was maybe 2.5-3' deep with the big tides we had. As I eased in there I could see redfish pushing water. Pretty decent school. But they wouldn't eat. They were hanging in the gut out off the shoreline and just not active. A group of 4 or 5 dolphins rolled in and went to work on them right there 30 or 40' in front of us. I saw a couple get tossed in the air but they were circling the school and then would take turns running thru and grabbing one, overall it didn't last very long but was pretty cool to see. Unfortunately it did not help the bite any and that spot was done for when they finished up.

Anyone familiar with Lighthouse lakes Kayaking? I am going the 13-15 and weather shows 15-25 MPH winds. Once in the lakes do you get much wind cover?

The lakes are protected enough that the water will stay clear and it won't get rough, but I would plan your paddle around going out into the wind and coming back with the wind if possible. Paddling into a 20 knot wind after fishing all day can be rough. That might mean fishing Brown and Root instead of lighthouse.

Unique markings on that one are interesting.
