Thank you sir, I may do just that. One of my buddies has a boat and we're supposed to get on some reds but he doesn't know anything about trout.

These people will get you started.

Get yourself acquainted with a rig called a "popping cork"

There are store bought varieties and home made varieties.

You can use a good artificial (gulp,exude) under it too, it doesn't have to be live bait. I would only go live bait under a popping cork rig if I could load up on my own mullet/shrimp/mudminnows with a cast net or trap (which I can). Otherwise, your 2 dozen live shrimp you paid for will be eaten up by nibblers, slung off on the cast, or die in the bucket within 2 hours of fishing.

If your friend knows reds, sea trout are the same way. A place that is really good one day, won't be the next day if you go at a different tide stage.


ETA... you don't talk about specific trout holes on the internet, that goes for saltwater and freshwater.
