Specks and Reds are biting well

The trout bite has finally turned on . My half day trips are limiting out about every time. The size fish we have been landing rang from 1lb to 5lbs. We have been catching most of the trout in the backwaters of the White Oak river, Queens Creek, and along with the NC 24 creeks. The fish have been falling for gulps, live shrimp, mullets, Mirrolures, and X-raps. I have been mainly working the creeks with my trolling motor and covering alot of water. The best color gulps have been the natural shrimp and the smelt colored jerkshad. Pink TT mirrolures have worked well along with She Dog top water in the 808 color. The action should stay pretty consistent as long as the weather stays in the 60s and 70s. The redfish are biting well on the shoals of the inlets. We are mainly sight casting to the drum with gulps, top waters, and Catch 2000s. The drum are ranging from 20" to 30".
