Aransas Pass Saturday the 8/18/18

Post by Sandtrout »

Hit the water around 7:30AM almost no wind but by 2:00 there were white caps. First thing we only picked up dink trout and reds(6”). Moved to the flats cut bait on bobbers just kept popping them and ended up with 3 slot reds a lot just short 1/2” to 1”. Then there were the 4 we never saw. It was a first for us hit so hard it split my bobber in half right before for it boke the 30 lb. leader. Another straighten my hook. 2 others just got off on their first run. Then it just stopped at 2PM.
Best trip for my Son and I have had in a year.
Good luck to all.

Appreciate the report. Can't say I've tried cut bait on floats, but it apparently it works. I guess a stronger bobber and/or leader is in your future.
