Slot sized redfish and trout are striking Assassin lure company’s Lil’ boss. This is a 3.5 inch paddle tail (or swim bait if you prefer). The best colors for us this week has been the Chico’s Red Ear, and the Black Shad models. These colors closely mimic the fingerling mullet roaming the lagoon flats at this time.

We are sight casting to fish the are tailing on the flats or cruising the edges of the sand and grassy areas which is super exciting to be able to watch the fish chase down and eat your lure. On some flats the water is more turbid due to the 10-15 knot winds recently. On these flats we are “blind” casting to sandy potholes or other features that we can make out. One key to finding these fish is to find the mullet. When you get into an area that has fingerling and full sized mullet mixed together you will usually find these two specific predators close by.
