Aftermath of Houston Derecho Storm: Neighbor Catches PB Trout

Aftermath of Houston Derecho Storm: Neighbor Catches PB Trout
Quick Evening Trip - Mostly Upper Slot Trout Limits Caught in Galveston East Bay
Went out for a last minute trip into Galveston East Bay. Took one of my neighbors with me. First stop was Goat Island. My regular spots were already occupied so we fished a cut that I've passed by on my way to Elm Grove. We were about 100 yards away from the grass line making a gradual approach closer to the grass line. Bait was all around us. Caught two upper slot trout within the first 10 minutes of being there. Power poled down but only caught a couple of under slot trout and decided to move on. Went to Elm Grove, but the winds picked up and the bite went dead.
Tried going deeper into the marsh to avoid the strong east wind, but couldn't figure out what the fish wanted.
Made a last ditch effort to fish a back marsh off the ICW. My neighbor caught his PB trout on his second cast @ 22". We fished for another hour and limited out on 6 more slot trout. Caught about 15 under slot trout as well. Fished from 4 PM to 6:45 PM and called it a day.
All were caught using a 1/8 oz jig rigged with a DSL chartreuse flash burner shad cast against the grass line and then just letting it drop. If the wind made the cast go short, or it was just a bad cast, we reeled it in and sent it back out to get in the hot zone.
Outgoing tide with poor water clarity. East wind made it tough to fish the bay.
