UPPER BAY TROUT

Well the weather has finally turned in our direction. I got out today and did a little kayaking. Man it is really nice out right now with the sun shining down on us and warming the flats. The fish are starting to thaw and bite again. We need about 2 weeks of this stoff and the fish will be in a full blown spring pattern. i threw brown lures all morning and had a few hits on the amber paddle tail but no commitments, so i switched to the cajun pepper and they started to play with me. i used the rockport rattler head in them to give it the little bit of noise and it worked i caught numerous fish in the 16 inch range and 6 in the larger size . released all but the 6 and let them swim to play another day. working the lures on the bottom and slow was the ticket today. the bite was soft and you can still tell the fish are cold. come on spring.
