Different places, this particular reef holds mostly 13-19 inch fish at night. Where I fished on Friday night had several 20 plus inch fish mixed in which as you can see in that report was a better picture. There are a couple of places on average that I know have 6lb plus trout at night but when the wind starts kicking after 6:00 like it usually does I can only get where I can get.

The "20 plus inch" reef sounds good to me. How about the weekend of July 20?

It really all depends on the wind, the "dink trout" reef might be the only thing we can fish. There were points last year when the wind would blow 30 knots when they called for 15. All I could do was hide in a few pockets in the channel. Not exactly great fishing.
