Worst may ever!

[Jadams]

Dunno if these fronts have the shrimp held up offshore or the fish ain't in yet r the lack of tide but last few days has kicked my Azz fishing hard to grind out 15 or so a day. Talked to some older guides they said they had one yr fish didbt turn on till June hopefully not the case. And it ain't just on big lake talked to 3 guides on Sabine 30 min ago one had 9, 13, and 2

This does not sound good for my trip saturday... i saw some guys smoking the fish next to me last sat. I however didnt do as well only bringing 3 specs, 2 reds, and a flounder home.

Last week was fine this week horrible

[SaltERedneck]

I dont know if salinity has anythign to do with the shrimp coming in but there has been an excessive amount of fresh water up north... usually saltier than this around this time.

could be the trifecta of fronts, rain, winds... if you arent catchin then something is seriously wrong.

I havent been able to find a decent amount the last 2 weeks also.

Yesterday ran from 210 and the water tasted fairly fresh all the way to LNG. Not to mention this dose of fresh water were getting right now.

It's May......almost happens every year as far as I can recall

I looked at my books from 2005 till last year and it's by far worst month of the year for trout

2006 Fished 14 times 45 trout
2007 I fished 12 times and boated 13 trout
2008 fished 7 times 15 trout
2009 fished 5 times 11 trout
2010 fished 9 times 47 trout

July must be the best...."700" trout?

[BayBolt23]

What u think the best month is W?
Oct,Nov or Dec?

[PotLikinisAhabbit]

Got stumped for the first time in a long time tuesday with only two flounder no trout, and scrapped together only three trout this morning.
So far May isn't looking too promising...

[SaltERedneck]

Oct... last 3 years adv 42 trout per trip

And this is what I keep in box.... i have caught 1000 trout before in Oct... 2006 we smashed 60 a day by 8am for like a week and tagged over 250 trout in one month

Yea that water temp dropped quick and that will shut them down sometimes.. Same here all reports are struggling. Also after that big feeding before and after that full moon in late April.

Did this same pattern in December fishing was unreal Oct & Nov then that cold snap had the trout shut down for a month-

Only good reports have been late afternoon in that falling tide. Tues and Wed afternoon late 7-8:15 was the only time they fed.
