re: MRGO Rocks

We're going a week from today and we're probably heading to the end of the MRGO (short rocks) to target specks using popping corks and live bait. Trout should be heading out of the marsh and into higher salinity waters preparing for the May spawn now that water is warming up. They might still be in transition and hard to find but they should be feeding wherever there is bait in the water. If rocks are not productive the backup plan is Lake of Two Trees and Lake Robin at points with current, bayou entrances and downwind shoreline. That area is loaded with oyster reefs (marked with white poles) and it's a transition zone for specks between their winter hideout and spawn location. All these areas are perfect for small boats. We see a ton of bass boats at the short rocks each June / July. Unless the wind is heading parallel to the MRGO then either the north or south rocks will be completely protected from waves and wind. There is a spoil canal south of the Hopedale launch that's the best route for getting to Two Trees, Robin and the rocks. spoil canal route Or you could always just try the MRGO rock wall close to the marina. We've had mixed results but there are always boats fishing there. Good luck!

I just confirmed that Breton Sound Marina has live shrimp. Nobody I called has croakers through.
