A lot of bigger trout wading have been showing up in East Bay. Along with some bigger schools of reds out on the flats making for easy sight casting. Spring fish is right around the corner and by the looks of it it's going to be a great season.

Birds are working with some nice speckled trout being caught using live shrimp or plastic, water temp holding in the uper 80's, and morning tides are extremely high so fishing on top of reefs and structures.

Fishing has still been a lil tough with high pressure and high winds but the last 2 days have started picking back up. These boys had never caught a redfish but we managed a few with the best being 27 1/2
