8/3/2010, Captain Scott McCune, Redfish Bay, Redfish Bay, Live Bait:
This past week the fishing has been very good even with the rain. I have notice weird tendencies with the bite though, Trout for example have been picky...once I get them to start eating Croaker after a little flurry of about 6 fish in the boat they will turn off...I then throw piggies to them and they eat again. This is only in water from 10-14 foot deep and it does not hold true if you are fishing shallower. I have found Redfish in the deeper pot holes, but only a few holes are holding the fish.
