Good fishing out of the Delacroix marsh. The East and Northeast winds have brought some good saltwater back into the middle lakes. The water clarity was pretty good and a medium rising tide had the fish staged along the dropoffs and up on the adjacent flats. My guests targeted speckled trout using tightlined plastics and plastics 2-3 feet under corks. The best technique utilized tightlined plastics in dark colors slow bumped along the bottom. We did pick up some trout on the flats with dark colored plastics under corks as the water temperature warmed. These trout ran 12-16" with a few throwbacks. We also ran into a good school of redfish and picked them up using the same plastics tightlined along dropoffs. The fish are staging in the deep holes and moving up the water column as the water temperatures rise. Look for fish early deep and move to the adjacent flats during the day. Good luck out there this week!
