You have just described in a nutshell the way I was raised fishing. That open water is a mystery.

this pic was supposed to be there also. It's a limit for me. Thumbs up.

Forgive the ignorance, but what kind of fish is that? Shape reminds me of a speckled trout, but the color doesn't seem right to me.

Called a white trout, Also have heard them called sand trout. Lived at Grande Isle as a kid every summer. Caught thousands of them. Meat is soft and does not freeze well, but okay to fry fresh, just can't handle them much or they get mushy and fall apart.

When stationed in Corpus Christi back 69/70 we caught them like that also. Some folks ate them I didn't think the were near as good as Specks. And we only caught them in the bay itself. Never caught one on the flats or intercostal.

Danny is right, we call them sand trout and I do eat them! I actually prefer them over specks. They don't have the worms in them that specks do.

Is there a length minimum Dwayne?
