As we head into the dog days of summer trout are around deeper grass flats and and areas with deep water nearby these spots typically have tall ledges and rolling bars. We typically start out throwing watermelon jerk baits on a 1/4 or 1/2 oz jig head depending on the depth of the water trying to target around 5-8ft of water. The redfish have been on the outer islands around large schools of mullet moving off the islands with the tide and typically up in the shadows of the mangroves on high tide. Cut bait or pinfish have been key either under a cork on a jig head or free lined having many different options is always key for trout or redfish. Getting out as early as possible is always a must this time of year.
