Trout Tips
You want to fish early for trout in summer. Use your favorite top water lure at first light. Trout will move to deeper water soon after sunrise. Move to grass flats that are 2-4 feet in depth and switch to popping corks with live shrimp or pinfish.
Slow down your presentation in the colder months. Look for Trout to be holding in the potholes.
Remember to handle this species with care. If you have to hold them try to make sure you wet your hands first. Never use a towel to handle them.
