I fished today with Jeff Austin of Texas Tops. Jeff and I were pre-fishing for this weekend's Texas Trout Series and it was a tough stick. We did not find what we were looking for, however lucky for us we brought along some Devil Eyes so that we could at least get our lines streched.
As we go through the water, we only found a single inshore fish hopping the wide area, unlike the other day where I saw much of them. Few minutes later, Jeff got the first bite with the Devil Eye of Amber color with 1/4 ounce Truloc. The first hook was empty though. Then I got my hook bitten but it was another empty lure as well. After waiting for another few minutes, the hook got an 18" Speckled trout on it, and then we went to the second spot.
At this spot the water was a little cleaner so I put on a Dark Strawberry Blue Devil Eye and Jeff pulled out a white stink bait (you know the G word) so we jumped out and got going. We were trading off on schooling trout lock ups but no real weight for either of us.
Then we reached a certain spot where the boat was necessary to get us to the other side. Jeff was always on the go so he brought the boat to the spot and we waded to the other side.
We hopped on back to the boat and we drifted through the deeper area on to the other side. As we drift by, we measured the depth of the water with a rod so we would know where to jump out of the boat but as we continued to drift by, I throw a lure into a sand pocket and suddenly a fat redfish was on the hook. We both waded down at the spot. Jeff started to cast his Devil Eye and after a few minutes he got one redfish. I also got some more redfish with the Devil Eye.
During tough fishing, it is always a good decision to bring along and use the Devil Eyes for fishing. Jeff and I used it with 10-11 o'clock triple bounce pausing every 5 seconds and then repeat the casting of lures. If you are having hard time fishing, like what we experienced, always use a bait that can stand the tough situation and make a pattern with every cast and the reds will surely bite in.
