big lake help
 

Any help would be greatly appreciated with this place i have been fishing reds and specks since i was a kid and always seem to get em but i have been fishing big lake and just can't seem to catch a break here i have run eveywhere with nuthing but one here and there what is the secret to this place were are all these reds and specks hiding i see all these post of the fish caught there so i know they are out there

thanks:headknocker:

Find some birds picking or drift a reef with top water or live shrimp for the trout, and for the Reds just put some dead shrimp on the ship channel just about anywhere that looks good, same for flounder.. good luck, and oh yea stay away from muddy water! (hint)

No secrete just takes time and patients

Trout close there mouth with noise so don't fish around crowds or use trolling motor much.....don't slam things in boat keep quit is the best bait

Fish basic baits to water

Find bait and look for slicks......you will catch more trout by staying away from boats
Today I had a buddy who has been walking the trout on a reef for 5 days....today one boat showed up then 2 3 10 15 ..he had 15 boats and not one put a fish in boat,.... They all left and he did not catch till 45mins after the last boat left....then wacked. em fast


Too many boats kill fish bites

thanks for the help i will just have to keep trying this place and find were some of these reefs are i am still trying to learn the area

Purchase a Hook and Line map that atleast gives you a starting place to look for few reefs. I am in the same boat as you are. When I get in from offshore also going to order Capt. Pauls waypoints.
