Confidence is key when it comes to fishing for trophy trout. Moon phase, tide and time of year are key indicators of when trout will bite. The new and full moon are when you have the greatest solunar activity and that's when the trout will eat more. Tide correlates to the moon phase. The full and new moons typically have higher tides, but in estuaries where you don't have as much tide range, high solunar activity without tidal influence is key. Late fall through early spring in Florida and Texas are great times to fish for trophy trouth. Bigger trout will pull up onto a flat in cooler water. They target mullet during this time. Mullet will pull up on a flat in colder water. The colder, the shallower water you should be targeting.
