Drifted WSW on west flats 8-1130am and caught lots of small trout, 15 w/ 2 keepers caught on jighead under CT, one caught on shrimp under CT, ... also picked up spanish under CT
Nothing was hitting past the pole line although we did see a small school of spanish and got another one under a CT
Stuck with east side of west flats for most of AM
Trolled a spoon going N and caught a blue and spanish in 3-5'
Decided to try east flats around 1130 and caught 2 small trout
Lots of pinfish bites over there
I think we should have used top water and worked jigs off the bottom for more keepers
Anyways... dead tide around 12:15 so trolled out by the bird rack
Went east in about 10'-12' and pick up another spanish
Lots of bait near the birdrack so casted in but nothing hitting
We did see a huge sea turtle - no cobia though
Trolled around rack area and picked up another blue
Called it around 1:30
Overall was a good day
17 trout (2 keepers 16&17)
4 spanish (16-18 range)
and 3 blues

Yeah it did so we moved from the West flats to East near the LH
Caught two more but it was mostly dead so decided to troll for Spanish near the birdrack
