I'm sure 6-12 hours of a light offshore wind isn't enough to clear the water much, but the days prior look pretty calm, so maybe I'll get lucky. My question is, can you regularly catch trout on those jetties that are closer into the land between Holly Beach and Little Florida? My plan is usually to just head down and wrestle some Bulls, but if I could tangle with some big surf trout, I'm all in. Thanks for any input.
Regularly..... NO Sometimes.....YES

Most of the time, there needs to be somewhat clear [6+" visibility] water to catch specks in that area. Sometimes trout can be in close, but usually they are out just past the rock jetties.

2 months ago, there was a ton of 3-5" shad so bring a cast net.
