After a fishing season with practically no trout caught, due to a winter kill, the fish that winter offshore have showed up in good numbers. They are full of roe, so we need to release them.

One of the keys for trout is clearer water. I look areas with at least 18 inches of visibility. Most of the trout I'm catching are on small flats with oysters next to a river channel. We are throwing Berkley Gulp 3 inch shrimp and Trout Tricks on one eighth ounce jigheads, jerking the lure up off the bottom and letting it fall in the "creating a reaction bite" technique. To learn more about the reaction bite and trout fishing book a charter with FishingWithBob.
