Attention fellow anglers

I can take u wade fishing for trout and flounder in December if you'd like. I know my way around.

I'd be down for that, Mogan. It'll finally give me a chance to use that combo I picked up from you. Ha

Hey Rhett! Good to see you're still around. I concur with what moganman and Daniel said. I've fished the bays most of my life and have used various baits over the years. The ones I use this time of year for flounder are the paddle-tail bass assassins in clear chartruese and pumpkinseed/chartruese. For trout and reds the pumpkinseed/chartruese is my go-to. At other times of year, especially when fishing from a boat, I've been using Big Nastys. I LOVE these baits! Cajun Pepper, Plum and Green Wing Gravy have worked best for me on trout. I use a 1/8 oz or 1/16 oz jighead. Lately I've been taking my kayak to Highland's Bayou, putting in at Mahan Park. There are several shallow pools that open off the main bayou which warm up in the afternoons and often hold at least one large speck. Topwaters are my favorites in those areas...a huge sow trout blowing up beneath a twitching top pup or she-dog is one of the most exciting strikes there is.

I use the tides4fishing site for the most part. It not only shows a graph of the tides themselves but also shows peak fishing times which take into account the tide movement and the Solunar tables.

When starting out, live bait; shrimp, croaker or finger mullet, are easier to fish with... free-lined or under a popping cork. Throwing lures has a bit of a learning curve to it.

Be patient. None of us bring fish home every time. Sometimes even when the conditions are perfect you can get skunked. I call it paying dues. I have a good friend who owns the Big Nasty Bait Co. He's one of the most consistently successful fishermen I know and even he gets skunked occasionally.

I'd love to get in on a trip with y'all. Let me know when y'all go.
