Thread: specks and reds in fish river

the reds and specks are thick in fish river typically fishing under the lights.with small split shot and a small treble with live shrimp. you'll typically find more specks in fish and more reds in magnolia but like i said they are thick we limited out on specks for 4 people and got a couple 27 inch reds

When did you go, and find any 25+ trout around ?

last weekend they were thick i mean when you pulled up to the light they were hittin on top. we used prolly 6 dozen shrimp in 2 hours.

What was te size of the trout?

between like 16 and 18 which is typical for fish river but still a good trout.

Hit it during the day,incoming tide and leave the shrimp at home, fish hard baits and you'll start seeing 22+ if you fish the right spots

where are the spots and ill try it and what kind of presentation for the bait?

As far as specific spots, you're on your own. However find small fish and the bigger fish are below them. As far as presentation goes, slow is the word. When I say slow I mean when you're working your bait at a pace that is painfully slow, slow it down even more.

do you think i would do good around swan island in the morning?

I don't know where Swan Island is, but anywhere you can find deep water (outer bends, cove mouths and the like) could be productive now that the cold air has returned. Just remember this motto, "Low and slow are the ways to go." Good luck.
