Caught a little window today to hit Baffin. Same pattern as yesterday, standard big trout pattern ... mud and grass with a little bait around. Not gonna lie it was a grind today but when you're hunting the big ones it can be that way. The majority of fish are still on a shrimp bite but in a couple small areas there's a few more big trout holding in areas where there is more mullet; specifically a mix of sizes where there is big mullet and little mullet. I ended up with 5 trout total with the 28 coming at 3 pm after I revisited a spot I fished earlier in the morning... in fact I had already waded the area and where I started the wade I had more bites and even saw a couple nice fish easing off. I had walked right into where they were holding without realizing it. I finished the wade and went way around back to that area and that's when she ate. Last cast of the day. Wow! Probably heaviest 28 I've caught but not a personal best... 8.6 lbs, she had a mullet in her gullet; tail sticking out her throat. The 26 hit a smoke or almost black color (golden bream would work) and the 28 was on pink.

Yes, they all hit my lure and that's all I threw all day. I had to test some last minute quality assurance parameters. It's in its last stages, selecting color recipes and durometer (flexibility and longevity of plastic) it's been a long arduous road to Get to this point.

I talked to Aubrey and Sally Black of Baffin Bay Rod and Gun on Monday and she and I agree that Baffin should be on the verge of blowing wide open. My personal belief is that coast wide we were blessed with one of the best shrimp crops in a couple of years; as soon as those fish decide to turn to more fin fish they're going to start slickin more and shadowing more baitfish in more areas. There are some big fish that are already there and some fish stayed in that pattern all winter and are still there if you look for that pattern. Y'all feel free to PM me with any specific questions.

Let's see, what else can I share. Approach. Make sure your approach doesn't blow out your fish. I parked my boat behind a sand bar about 70 yards away and waded behind the dry side of the sand bar before crossing over to where
I want e to focus on. I don't want to pretend that I haven't learned something like this from guides that have been part of my life. I'd say Capt Steve Soule shared something like this with me, and also partly about why these fish are where they are. These fish were seeking seclusion from boating traffic and at the same time looking for a meal using the patchy grass as ambush locations. If your a kayaker your going to have to play with this as much as a boat would; I caught these fish in about thigh deep water, I was wading SUPER quiet in mud that was probably about 5 inches, about a little over the ankle
