I've fished Wilson's Cut half a dozen times, so know the area pretty well, but this morning was exceptionally dark and the water level had changed the topography. Took me awhile to convince myself I knew where I was!
Dodged the duck hunters and found a few trout and rat reds before 9:00am. ZMan 4"DieZel minnow in Sexy Penny on a Texas Eye Jigheads rigged weedless and a small gold spoon accounted for the majority of fish up to this point. Switched spots a few times and headed closer to the bay towards Pink Shack Cove late morning.
Found the fish in 3'-4' of water in the pot holes. First few trout came on a Kelly Wiggler red/white paddle tail (my confidence bait) but was getting too much grass. Switched over to a Redbone DieZel minnow and game on. 8 reds, largest was 25" and I lost count of trout. Largest trout was 17.75". All the bites came by bringing the DieZel minnow through the grass, (not on top) into the pot holes. Best bites came when the wind died between a NE and SE wind change that day.
All catch and release. I've got pics, but not sure how to add them to the post.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Tight Lines!
