You never know what's going to work best on East Bay,'' says Paradoski. If the fish are feeding on mullet shallow you'll do best by wading. But a lot of the time you'll have some wind and the best option is to drift the reefs. One thing you don't want to pass up are the birds. Paradoski says he'll be fishing Bass Assassins, Gamblers, Hogies or Kelly Wigglers.
Top colors are shad or pumpkin seed with a green tip.
He'll also tie on a Mirrolure when drifting. The one draw back of wading East Bay is that it's got a lot of soft bottom mixed with shell. That can make for some tough wading. But big trout and soft bottom go together like gin and tonic. Forget about using live bait for East Bay trout.
