I went for a quick trip last night to chocolate bay, found plenty of trout in about 5' of water over mud and shells. found them around 430pm and they were biting until I pulled out at 530. Most were right at 15'' and thrown back, kept a 16'' and very nice 20'', pic is attached.
When I got home and cleaned the fish I noticed that there was nothing in their stomachs- which leads me to ask, has anyone seen much bait in the galveston bay complex right now? if so, what are you seeing?
trout in choco bay- what are they eating?

mainly fish...but most I've caught have been almost completely digested before they start feeding again...might be why you didn't find anything in their stomachs

I agree. I cleaned 8 trout this past Saturday and only found bait (partially digested Mullet) in one of them. All of the others had empty stomachs.vincent wrote:mainly fish...but most I've caught have been almost completely digested before they start feeding again...might be why you didn't find anything in their stomachs

Okay, I may get laughed off of TKF, but I have been told when trout feed hard, they end up breaking off or shedding their teeth, and may take a break from feeding due to a "sore" mouth. Well, if they aren't feeding, their stomaches would be empty.
