We continued to catch trout, although they were fairly scattered, for another 1/2 hour before the slack tide came on. The wind had died down some and we decided to head out further to some close rocks with the idea that maybe we could find some rock bass. We made the trip but by the time we got to 17ft of water, the wind had decided to switch directions to a more Southerly direction and picked up a bit. We were only able to find a lone remora out there and my wife had something take her bait on a small spinning outfit and rock her up (8lb test and 20lb floro leader). We put the rod in a holder and left it for a while until we saw the line moving around. When we picked up the rod but what ever was on would go back into the rock and the rig was too light to get it up off the bottom. This went on for 2 or 3 more times until we finally just broke it off. By this time, both the wind and the rollers had increased so we decided to head in closer to shore. I took a North East route to some flats that had produced in the past and Dennis's first cast resulted in a fairly nice yellow tail jack that disconnected just outside of the out streached net
We did not have much more activity and with the conditions getting worse...actually they got down right ugly!, we headed in. With the rollers running parallel to our route back we took a good bit of spray but made it slowly into the river. In all the day was good. Dennis and Billie enjoyed the time. Fishing, Driving the boat, some Catch'n , Ham Sandwiches, Some friendly dig's from time to time....we're ready for next year. We caught several sail cats, the always jumpy lady fish, a couple of small sharks , 5 or 6 short trout and 6 nice keepers for them to take home. Here's a few pictures of our crew.
