I fished today with Jeff Austin of Texas Tops. Jeff and I were pre-fishing for this weekend's Texas Trout Series and it was a tough stick. We did not find what we were looking for, however lucky for us we brought along some Devil Eyes so that we could at least get our lines streched.
As we go through the water, we only found a single inshore fish hopping the wide area, unlike the other day where I saw much of them. Few minutes later, Jeff got the first bite with the Devil Eye of Amber color with 1/4 ounce Truloc. The first hook was empty though. Then I got my hook bitten but it was another empty lure as well. After waiting for another few minutes, the hook got an 18" Speckled trout on it, and then we went to the second spot.
Jeff and I went to the second spot which was a cleaner one. I decided to put on a Dark Strawberry Blue Devil Eye while Jeff was pulling the white stink bait he had. We both jumped out of the boat with our lures and we looked for better hook-ups but there was nothing for both of us on this spot.
Then we reached a certain spot where the boat was necessary to get us to the other side. Jeff was always on the go so he brought the boat to the spot and we waded to the other side.
We hopped on back to the boat and we drifted through the deeper area on to the other side. As we drift by, we measured the depth of the water with a rod so we would know where to jump out of the boat but as we continued to drift by, I throw a lure into a sand pocket and suddenly a fat redfish was on the hook. We both waded down at the spot. Jeff started to cast his Devil Eye and after a few minutes he got one redfish. I also got some more redfish with the Devil Eye.
Jeff and I used the Devil Eyes at 10-11 o'clock triple bounce with 5 second pauses on every cast. We both can say that if you find the fishing is tough on certain areas or spots, it would be your advantage if you have Devil Eyes and use it to hook up those redfish.
