The trout are crushing suspending twitch baits this week!

Picture this in your mind: it’s zero dark thirty and we’re launching the boat, the sun’s not up yet, and we’re heading to our spot to entice some tasty fun drag screaming trout into smashing our lures. We arrive at my honey hole after a short boat ride and we start tossing top-waters and suspending twitch baits.

The sun is waking up and peeking its head over the horizon as we’re bowing up on some healthy trout. If you’re a bass fisherman, you’ll love this style of fishing. Tossing artificials is what I like best and over the past 9 years of guiding I have mastered techniques using artificials in our upper bay areas. Don’t get me wrong; I like fishing the pass using live bait for sheepshead, reds and other species, but there seems to be more of a challenge when using artificials, and I like to keep challenging myself to see what works.

If you’re into artificials and want a great guided trip, give me a ring the next day you have off, and we’ll go wet a line.
