Made it down to the surf about 0700 the water was great, small swells and crystal clear. I was throwing a spoon and caught a nice keeper red. I usually don't keep fish, but nobody wanted it. About an hour later I tried some bait, and caught a bait rig that had a nice fat trout still on it. Not to bad, went back to throwing a spoon and managed another fat surf trout. This filled my ice chest and I decided to head back to San Antonio a happy fisherman.

Sounds like a great time at the beach. Seems like surf trout are just fatter than the bay trout.
Hope you had a safe trip home. Come back soon.

Surf trout are definitely fatter. I hit the beach monday morning for a while and caught a 16 1/2 inch speck on a spook junior. I fish the bays a lot and I swore that trout was gonna push 18. But nope it was just fat. Thanks for the report.

They seem to be stronger and fight better as well

Same with river bass. Pound for pound, a bass out of the river will fight harder than a bass out of a lake.
