I fished today with Jeff Austin of Texas Tops. Jeff and I were pre-fishing for this weekend's Texas Trout Series and it was a tough stick. We did not find what we were looking for, however lucky for us we brought along some Devil Eyes so that we could at least get our lines streched.
As we go through the water, we only found a single inshore fish hopping the wide area, unlike the other day where I saw much of them. Few minutes later, Jeff got the first bite with the Devil Eye of Amber color with 1/4 ounce Truloc. The first hook was empty though. Then I got my hook bitten but it was another empty lure as well. After waiting for another few minutes, the hook got an 18" Speckled trout on it, and then we went to the second spot.
At this spot the water was a little cleaner so I put on a Dark Strawberry Blue Devil Eye and Jeff pulled out a white stink bait (you know the G word) so we jumped out and got going. We were trading off on schooling trout lock ups but no real weight for either of us.
We then came to an area that we needed the boat to get to the other side of to continue our wade so Jeff being the good guy that he is went back and brought the boat.
We jumped on and drifted across the deep cut to the other side all the while using our rods as measuring sticks to see when we could jump back in and re-start our grind. Along the way I made a cast into a sand pocket and an instant on of a fat redfish was our cue to power pole down and wade. After that redfish I noticed Jeff re-rigging a Devil Eye. A short wade later he had a good redfish on and two cast after his I had another.
During tough fishing, it is always a good decision to bring along and use the Devil Eyes for fishing. Jeff and I used it with 10-11 o'clock triple bounce pausing every 5 seconds and then repeat the casting of lures. If you are having hard time fishing, like what we experienced, always use a bait that can stand the tough situation and make a pattern with every cast and the reds will surely bite in.
