The water really doesn’t have to be perfect clear in the surf. You just need current and bait. If the grout really depended on the water to be clear then they would starve to death in grown waters. I’ve fished in 2ft swells with the water doo doo Brown and still caught. Those waves will beat you up but when you have the trout fever it doesn’t matter!

Now I just perfer the swells to be 1ft and have current in the water. I usually cruise up and down the sea wall looking for bait action.

Catching these predators in their environment just makes it all worth it.

Fishing rollover and catching trout with mirrorlure is an awesome experience. Wade fishing the mouth of the pass for gator trouts is fishing at another level of excitement
