Went out after lunch and played around trying not to I go stir-crazy. Turned out to be a fun play day.

Worked some of the spoil islands and picked up a couple trout and then got this 26-inch red.

worked different spots throwing different lures until boaters would run right in front of me and then I'd have to move. In the dirty water I was using a salt shaker with a purple paddle tail underneath it. Some people laugh when they see that I have a hook attached to my salt shaker. This is why I do it.

Turns out I caught eight keeper fish, 7th trout, on five different baits.

Decided to keep the fish today and give some to my grandkids and also my elderly neighbor. Thinking about that cracks me up because I'm probably older than her.

The birds had a feast as well.

I was going to ask you on one of your previous posts if you ever caught anything on the salt shaker hook. Guess I don't have to ask now.

Thanks for your post, Zia...

Zia, thanks for posting.
If you get some nice vistas when you're out, occasionally aim the camera that way for those of us stuck at home.

Nice!!

Have you ever tried rigging those tequila gold sand eels weightless? I have some rigged but haven't had a chance to throw them yet.

last kayak trip - 2 weeks, seems like an eternity now - I scrolled through a gang of glass minnow imitations, most lures missing occasional sipping strikes.

The 3/16th oz YoZuri Sinking Pins minnow hit the zone with a 2s countdown, and took immediate fish with anything you did after that.

Hi friend, this was pea-soup fog at Little Cut with no wind current and a strong tide coming in from Aransas Bay.

At the west end of the Little Cut shoal, redfish were shoaling on glass minnows, and wading the east end of the shoal, trout were slashing glass minnows at your feet.

Didn't try the lure enough at Arroyo because other rigs were so productive, but it should be a good night lure for glass minnows - you can also use colors at night, and blue is my go-to.

Water today is about a foot higher than it was yesterday. Went out for a little bit and water was clean in almost all of the Laguna except close to the bluff shoreline. Only managed four trout that I released today. might have been able to catch more but I was just experimenting. If I caught a fish or two I would leave that area and go look someplace else. Tried different lures etc etc. Just can't handle sitting around the house doing nothing but chores. just have to get out on the water. Great mental health exercise.
