Guide’s Tips & Notes
Advice for This Week
Switch to bait fishing and focus on deeper water near cooler channel inlets. Keep your gear clean—debris and weeds are thick.
Changes We’re Seeing
The trolling bite has completely shut down due to rising temps and poor clarity. Browns were active earlier but have dropped off.
Predictions for Next Week
Trolling will likely be fully out—expect strictly a bait bite moving forward. Brown trout action should improve again as we move closer to fall. Keep the Frankenstein Trigger Spoon ready when that window opens back up.
