Tackle Used On This Trip:
- Moonwalker Topwater Lure
- Slam Shady 2.0 Paddletail
- F.R.E.D. Paddletail
- Z-Man Trout Eye Jighead
- Hoss Helix Hooks
- F.R.E.D. BOMBER
- Toadfish Stowaway Travel Fishing Rod
At the beginning of this trip, I threw out topwater plugs and some subsurface lures and caught trout almost instantaneously.
The water was moving and there was a nice breeze that stirred the surface a bit.
However, the tide began to change over and the bite slowed down.
I decided to make a move and find some deeper pockets of water in hopes of finding fish.
My objective was to also follow the incoming tide on the way back in after it changed over.
I found a few areas with broken bottom structure thanks to Smart Fishing Spots.
Broken bottom structure is the feature I really look for in a fishing spot when the bite dies down.
These areas are highly likely to hold fish in deeper water when the tide is changing over.
As always, you should have Dr. Juice out there on the water with you.
I never leave home without it and without a doubt, it has increased my hookup ratio.
