It was picking up a couple weeks ago as the warm weather had the water temps in the ICW and creeks reaching 70 in some places. However, the colder weather now has it going the wrong way, and temps in the ocean, sound and river this past Tuesday were only 60-61 degrees. They need to be in the high 60s to low 70s before the trout will really start heating up again.
I disagree with the warmer water comment. I consistently catch trout in cool water as effectively (sometimes more effectively) as I do in warmer waters. You just gotta learn what they do. Sometimes this means working a little harder, but when you find the school its on.
Hey trip, can you elaborate a little more on these "beach trout. I've never really heard or read about this pattern....thanks.
I long for the day to catch one of those! Thanks for the intel Trip, I may have to give it a go this summer.with 2 of them 26 and 27"
