East Bay fishing report
Wednesday, February 8, 2012 12:24 PM
Fish: Spotted bottom equals freckled fish. The trout bite right now is pretty good. The fish are staged on grass flats with sandy potholes; the spotted bottom provides good ambush points for sea trout to gain the upper hand on unsuspecting bait. The more white spots on a grass flat equals more ambush points and that equals more fish.
Baits: The trout are feeding on just about any type of live or artificial offering. The top baits in the low-light conditions that occur early in the morning or late in the day are the top-water walk-the-dog style plugs. The ones with the deep pitch rattles work the best from recent experience. As the sun begins to rise, the soft plastic jigs bounce off the bottom of the sand hole and create a "puff." This is an attractant as well as the jig body. Jig bodies with a nice silver or gold flash will improve your odds when the sun is higher in the sky. Slow-sinking hard plastics that resemble a minnow or a sardine in bright colors work well during daylight hours as well.
