glad you were able to get out..... I just don't know how to fish that open water.....I need a stump to throw next to.....I been in South Louisiana too long I guess.....
You have just described in a nutshell the way I was raised fishing. That open water is a mystery.Quote:

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?Quote:

No minimum length and no quantity limit! If you find one you can usually find more. My dad, me and a buddy set on a cut coming out of the marsh years ago and caught probably 100 or more of them! Most of them don't get real big (about the size of the one you are holding) but if you can find some deeper water you can find some bigger ones.Quote:
