Which includes:
Inshore report, Offshore Report, Freshies Suggestions, and "Little Miss Judy's Believe It or Not!" (Story)
Captain Rick Reynolds of Miss Judy Charters
Captain Rick Reynolds of Miss Judy Charters has put together his personal fish catching design. While using popping corks, 3 to 4 foot leaders, and live shrimp he loves working a certain tide frame. He personal best is two hours before high to two hours after the tide turns and starts to go out. According the Captain Rick spotted sea trout AKA "ambush feeders" love this tide phase. That last sentence explained it all. Since a trout most of the time "sees first what it going to kill and eat" this scenario is a good one.
When the water floods the grass trout used this buffer as a great hiding place to stage and wait for a meal. After all most things that move to the marsh for protection as well as food arrives from "somewhere out there!" Trout has always especially during this tide stage, taken advantage of this situation. It's suggested to work the marsh line letting your float, float with the current while popping it in sequence. Captain Rick's sequence works like a "fish charm." Here's the combination snap to getting a fish to your bait: Captain Rick pops it, pops it, pauses, and pops it. Now when he suggests to "popping it," he's not meaning "wildly, but directly! When using this move, use it in a manner so as to send out the most natural noise not a "scare you off tactic." If you are not careful you might scare off more fish than you attract.
Lets assume that there are two or three fishermen fishing in the same area with popping corks. I don't suggest all popping at the same time. What the heck, come up with your own noise scheme you never know, you might come up with your own "fish catching jingle!"
