[Captain Buddy Oakes]

]Lots of hot August weather hasn’t slowed the catching. These last few days have been the best fishing of the year. Most limits of speckled trout are coming very early in the day up and down the ship channel on both sides. The fish are congregated on the drop offs. Live shrimp is the number one bait but live pogy is bringing in the bigger trout. Light north winds have laid the gulf down and many good catches are coming from the short rigs doodle socking on the bottom with live bait and Glow/Chartreuse Hackberry Hustlers on a 5/16 lead head. Call toll free at 888.762.3391 and get in on this very hot (what a pun) action. Here are a few of the pictures from the last few days and you can see them all by clicking here: http://www.hackberryrodandgun.com/st...hp/new_gallery
