Thursday, December 27th, 2007 Quality Fish
Hopefully as we get farther away from the full moon the number of bites we get will increase again. That's the only thing I can think of that has slowed the bite down a tad. Oh well... we may not have caught the huge numbers of fish on the last two trips but the fish were good fighters and have been on the larger side.

We
again had a negative low tide this morning in the Tarpon Springs
area so I asked Curtis and Nikki if they wouldn't mind starting the
day when the tide was coming in. So I picked them up at the ramp
around 10am and we headed off to try and find some low water trout.
The bite was slow but just as the rest of the day would play out, it
was a quality bite. We didn't catch a ton of fish today but the ones
we did catch pulled drag. If you ask me, one drag puller is worth 25
dinks. 
We
landed trout from 18"-25" and redfish from 24"-27". The first few
trout of the day were caught on white/red tail curly tail grubs and
rootbeer colored curly tail grubs fished on 1/4oz. jigheads. The
redfish were caught again today on cut pinfish around oyster bars
and mangrove points. They didn't want anything to do with a live
baitfish. All I can assume is that the lower water temp has them a
little sluggish and looking for an easy meal. The last few, and
biggest trout of the day, were caught on cut pinfish as well. I've
never caught trout on cut pinfish before this week and yet we've
managed to boat 5 trout fishing like that this week.
