Launched out of Shell Island at 0600 and headed east. It started out pretty rough with over 10mph wind from the south. We fished in 4-5 ft of water and caught a nice limit of trout by 1200 with a 22 and 21 inch trout and a bonus flounder. We couldn't find a redfish but did find 1 knucklehead that decided to jump in the spot I was drifting as I was coming around for a second drift. The Water temp was 80 degrees and visibility was like coffee with cream and maybe a spoonful of sugar (about 2 feet of visibility). Over half of our fish were caught on topwater, which made for some extra excitement. It was a great day out with a good friend visiting from Tennessee. This time next week I will be fishing the back country in the everglades with the pops and I am excited!

NICE CATCH, I KNOW YA HAD FUN.

Can't help but like it when it comes together like that! Good report and good fishing!

On Monday, we Put in at daylight and left at 11...counted 117 boats within 1.5 miles of black rock...fishing Memorial Day weekend creates mayhem!

your right...I stayed at Live Oak Island all week-end and it was OK

I fished 3'-5' East of the Lighthouse today. Caught 20+ Trout with only about 5 shorts. I rat red and two that came unbuttoned from the creeks. Same water and wind conditions. Temp was between 79°and 81°
It was nice to have a fishing day away from the holiday chaos.
