We normally keep our boat at the Fish Camp, but we launched from the Fort today for various reasons, and headed out to the West Flats around noon.

Water temps seemed to be around 65f to 66 during the afternoon, with visibility good to 4'. Despite the steady south wind, inshore was pretty nice, although we did drop anchor a few times to focus on an area.

We fished for about 4 hours, and caught somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 trout, but only 6 keepers.
Also picked up a small flounder and ladyfish.

Almost all were caught on shrimp or gulps under popping corks, a few others on paddletails or gulps bumped along the bottom.

Lots and lots of bait swimming around with some birds diving on them, but the fish did not seem to be chasing them. I threw 2 different size spoons hoping for trout or spanish, but no luck at all.

A beautiful day to be on the water, and a good dinner.

Sounds like a good day! I was not so lucky, we fished close to the lighthouse and in the river because of the wind and chop. Only caught 2 cats, 1 stingray, 2 ladyfish, and some tiny croakers.

We were out with the family and fished a little bit this Sunday. Tried the flats at about 4' deep, the water was about 66 degrees. No bites.

We switched to the river for the incoming tide and caught a couple of trout and one rat red.

The wind was pretty bad early but the water was pretty clear which was a nice change of pace.

Looks like it will be a bit windy this week, but the bay fishing should be great.
