Forgotten Coast Fishing Report
Inshore fishing was great last week with limits of trout being caught in the deeper creeks; soft plastics, or live shrimp under a cork have been working. Whiting have been biting on the beaches; use a shrimp and a Carolina rig. Redfish have also been good using bull minnows.
The shallower reefs offshore have been good with limits of snapper being caught using knocker rigs tipped with either cut or live bait such as shrimp or mullet.
Crappie bite has been really good in the creeks and bayous, using minnows and a slip cork, as the rivers are either steady or falling. Catfish are still being caught in the deeper holes, using stink bait or cutbait.
Don’t forget our Christmas sale is still going on, so stop in and see us. Until next week, don’t forget those lifejackets and hope you had a Merry Christmas!
