...so i know fishing depends on a lot but in yalls opinion when is the best time to fish in a saltwater bay for reds trouts etc.....  as in Moon phase, time, temp, weather?

When the sun is first rising/settng. Or at the start of an incoming or outgoing tide. When the sun is high and its getting really hot, the reds will move into shallower water on a flat.

thnx for the tip on the reds and a hot day explains and helps a lot!
