is one of the most incredible
places on the Gulf Coast. It's a
living, breathing being. It has
overcome a lot and will come
back even stronger thanks to
the influx of all the bait and silt
from the opening of the spillway. Just don't let the thought
of the spillway water put you in
the wrong state of mind.
Another area that is one of my
favorites this time of year is
down along the coast of Grand
Isle. This area is loaded with
specks year round, and this time
of year is when those big girls
start becoming more active and
easier to catch especially on the
beach with topwaters. The thing
to look for is definitely some clean water that’s full of bait down there. My
favorite bait to find down there for big trout are definitely pogies and mul-
“Sharp hooks can
save your day when
throwing topwaters
for specks mainly because that soft mouth
may break on the
hook and the hook
will get lodged somewhere else on his
mouth and keep him
on the line.”
