You are probably thinking why some people could catch more fish effortlessly. Actually, there are some reasons why they were able to catch fish easily. They looked for the right location, they used the right bait, and they gave silence a very big importance while fishing. Quietness is an essential character that you should have if you want to catch more fish.
I tell all my clients that catching fish is a lot like deer hunting. If that big buck hears you, hell just turn the other way. The same goes for big trout or reds; if they hear you they typically will run and hide. Always remember to not slam the lids on your hatches or yell at your buddy who is wading a hundred yards away. Most of the time, bigger trout and reds are caught while wading because being quieter and getting away from the noise of the boat slapping the waves helps to not scare them off.
Next is location, location, location. Most folks think that the cleaner the water the better. Yes and no, this year I have caught more fish in the off-colored water than in the greener water we call "trout green". This is not always the case, but this year it has been the ticket for us. From what I have seen, the off-colored water is holding the bait that the fish are feeding on.
Off-colored water must not be some kind of dirty water. Just look for unclear water but not with plenty of greens around. The grass flat with off-colored water at the edge could be a better fishing site.
When I go fishing on the grass flat, I would rather wait for the tides. As the tide rises, the fish will come as well into the flats. On the deeper water, I use the Sea Devils by Brown Lures in the Amber color. Sometimes the Redfish would ignore the lures on the flats. What I usually do is to toss a hook right beside them and once they smell the lures, they will surely feed on it. This was the fishing experiences I have at the Matagorda Bay System.
I will expect to see you next time.
