I left Sunday not expecting to do much, just sort of a &#8220;dry run&#8221; for when the fish really got here. Little did I know they were already there waiting. Gene Insley and I fished Sunday and from dawn until I ran out of bait around 2. Bobbers never stopped going down we caught around 60 fish. 9 were between 24-27 which quality for citations. Amongst the catch of speckles were 5 puppy drum as well. Monday I returned to my spot with Richie Moore who had never caught a citation trout. That quickly changed as we caught around 40 fish amongst which 4 were between 24 and 26 inches which were also citations. Just like the day before, a nice mix of puppy drum was in the catch. During this time, several others caught nice fish as well including Craig Paige who landed a 32 inch fish on both days. It was a pleasant surprise to find the fish here so early. I suspect I&#8217;ll be back at it again this weekend, hopefully this hot bite will continue. If it does this could potentially be a banner year in the hot ditch.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_20121111_083911.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_20121111_083911-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"IMG_20121111_083911\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_20121111_083911-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_20121111_083911-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/IMG_20121111_083911.jpg 1944w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I fished Sunday and Monday for speckled trout in the hot ditch.
