@@toddburgandy7904 the trout bite is definitely good right now. Focus on areas from Port St Lucie and north in the Indian River. Find access points where you can park and get into the water, walk in knee to thigh deep water and fan cast a 3” paddle tail on a 1/4 ounce Jighead. Try different retrieval patterns. Slow jigging and steady retrieval with intermediate jigs. If you catch one stay where you are, chances are there’s a lot more around. If you feel grass on your ankles you’re in a good area 👍🏽
It keeps all of the bait contained when they enter the live well. The wells are pressurized in that boat which means the water comes all the way to the top of the lid, so if you dump hundreds of baits in at once it will raise the water even more and they will overflow all over the gutters. The basket seems to keep that at bay because the basket already takes up a lot of space, so it doesn’t create the overflow effect.
@ @Steve-Jody the more mature baits will migrate south off the keys. The small to medium baits that were just born will hang around for as long as the commercial mackerel guys will let them, until they wipe them out. Usually they’ll all get wiped out with the first stretch of weather that allows those guys to get off the beach.
Lets goo catching trout right of the spot Denver lost his phone😂
😂 fried calamari jacket scent man thats what calls in the bigguns
I was just wade fishing there 2 days ago and smokes sea trout as well
@@bobbygorman2008 nice. They’re definitely plentiful. Hopefully they stick around for awhile!
Recently moved to the area. Is now the time for the seatrout bite? Tips to catching without a boat?

@@maxedoutfishing Awesome thank you!
Why using the basket for the bait?

@@maxedoutfishinggotcha. Do those pilchards stay year round or migrate south with the cooler fronts?

I hope you didn’t keep any bc the season is closed.
@ there is no season for sea trout in my area, but regardless all fish caught in this video were released.
