Big speckled trout in the surf

The surf was the flattest and the most clear I had ever seen it. The trout were schooling going back and forth all through the guts eating bait and swiping at pretty much anything that swam in front of them including our lures. The topwater blow ups were the most veracious I'd ever seen with trout. They were literally flying out of the water trying to grab out baits and sometimes missing it 2 or 3 times before finally getting it. The thing was it was hard to hook up on topwater because they were moving so fast and just swiping furiously at everything. So the plastics were what I found to land the most fish. I was using an 1/8 jig head and a pink down south lures and they loved it. We also saw a lot of sharks crashing on bait and trout and even had a few break my off. Kyle actually caught one on top water which was super sick, you can check that out on his channel (below). All the trout were big and fat and this is one of the best fishing days I've ever had. A lot of it i didn't get on camera because of all the craziness going on but managed to get a few good clips. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

Love the sound of the drag on baitcasters (3:31)

Awesome action. I still dream about a similar experience I had in Cape San Blas Florida. The water over the white sand bottom was crystal clear and it was dead calm all day...and I mean dead calm....much flatter than in your video. Like an inland lake on a calm day with no boats to roil the water up. All day the fishing was bad. Understandable considering any fish close to shore would have really stood out to the diving birds. There were millions of little minnows congregated within twenty feet of the shore at about 18 inches deep. A guy said they were glass minnows? Right before sunset I saw a guy way up the beach catch 4 or 5 good sized fish in a very few minutes. One of my sons ran down there and came back to say the guy was using shrimp on a hook with no weight. We'd boiled shrimp the night before and I sent a son up to bring some down. I rigged a rod with just a hook and threaded one of those shell on red cooked shrimp on it. What commenced was like you experienced. My son fished too. We could only keep four total because you could only keep two apiece over 22 inches or thereabouts (forgot) We could have kept 3 more apiece if they were under that length but never caught any that small! They were all mainly 24-28 inches...what they call Gator Trout. It was doubly weird because I'd always fished for trout in the bays and estuaries or along shallow coastlines with lots of grass beds. I had never caught anything but a few little 8-9 inchers on the Gulf side of that type of beach. I subscribed so feel free to make me jealous with any of your future awesome fishing days!

[@Kriztofer333]

Nice fish. Can't believe you caught the water that clear. Made for a good day

[@titan5point687]

This vid still in my top 3 fishing vids

[@SeanWhite-gm6ii]

Ya that school of trout was 1 of the healthiest I think I've ever seen...anyone know what state or what area this was?

[@SeanWhite-gm6ii]

That was a really health school of trout...great video

[@linger2001]

I'm not sure where y'all fished but I fished Surfside, TX. and it was good. My best day was Tuesday the 28th of June and it was crazy. The water was just slicking off and starting to clear. I was catching everything and I never knew from cast to cast what I was going to catch. I caught Specks, Sand Trout, Whiting, small sharks, Blue fish, Gaftop, Hard head catfish and Lady fish in the +20" range. Most on a gold spoon with a jigging retrieve. One of my best fishing days ever.

[@aceboardtheangler5252]

M Linger Sounds like an Epic Day! Tight lines

[@blunthonest1]

A major result of lots of catch-n-release, unlike the Lower Laguna Madre where everything's kept...legal or illegal.

[@BRad-qy6xi]

blunthonest1 you got that right! Lots of losers with no license raping the ecosystem.

[@luisrojas7317]

[@karabonstein]

[@BIGROB123]

great video and nice trout, but my question is,how did you know to stop there at that spot out of all places. is there some kind of shell reef or is it a drop-off, a channel?

[@quantumaquatic1767]

That's a badass wading net bouy thing. Did yall make it ??

[@randyprovost8426]

New subscriber here! What an awesome day of catching! What of camera do you use? If a Gopro, what settings are you using. footage looks really nice!

[@randyprovost8426]

[@avid5584]

[@lanelon9435]

[@CarlosPerez-2023]

This is definitely in Texas is this was fishing in Louisiana nobody uses bait casters.

[@coopermury6323]

NOturtle me too😂

[@jwmcleod5646]

You have to have skill to use bait casters. My daughter has been using a baitcaster since she was about eight. It’s just not a Louisiana thing.

[@T-Hull]

What baits were the trout biting on? Is this in Texas or Louisiana?

[@jasoncruz6228]

What part of the beach did y'all fish?Every time I go to take my kids fishing, the water is just to choppy.

[@jamesharding1527]

[@coopermury6323]

What kind of rod and reels were used in this video?

[@danieldiaz2338]

What camera did you use ?

[@robsgarage552]

this looks like a back bay from the jetties, not the surf. the surf is further out by the jetties,,,

[@markamin9863]

What setup are you using

[@johnbice5208]

Tide runner or surf trout are so much stronger than the bay trout , the big girls will run like a red and tail walk

[@gregh2880]

That doesn't even look like "surf". :-)

[@Shockyxo]

Are these big surf trout?

[@fishinglaketravis827]

Yo I have that same reel😂

[@jaredwright9215]

What rod and reel?

[@rippinglips854]

Where is this at

[@terryfonz4603]

Nice job but please just grab the friggin fish instead of using the gay tool that takes 10 minutes to grab him with.

[@gblan]

I think they were afraid of the fish. That one guy squealed like a little girl.
