Freshwater City

[J.D.L]

Went on an offshore trout fishing trip this past Friday out of Freshwater City. Our crew got down to Pecan Island to late to castnet bait for the trip so we decided to just use plastics. Launched the boat at Freshwater City and ran out to a platform 14 miles from the bayou. The seas were extremely calm, and the green water was just a couple miles out. The bite was very soft, but we were putting fish in the boat until the armada arrived with the live bait and the bite shifted to their area only. As soon as the bait guys ran out of croakers and shrimp, the fish seemed to move back around the platform and give us some more action. Ended up with 30 specks. Most of the trout were caught on plumtreuse cocahoe minnows and shrimp colored salty grubs. If you make a rig trip, bring tons of jigheads, the spanish mackerel were in there thick. Didn't take any pictures, forgot the camera at the house.
