Daniel and I got to the ramp at 6:00 anticipating not having enough water to get out later and ran out the river with a spotlght. Got out there far enough to shut down and spent some time rigging up in the dark. While still dark Daniel caught a huge sail cat on a topwater and then a bonita(I think) After the sun got up we commenced to fishing. The water was very clear and 72degrees. We put 6 solid fish in the box by 8:30 then it got reel slow for while. By around 1:30 we finished our limit of trout and moved towards Hickory mound to see if we could manage a red or two. I caught a nice flounder then Daniel caught a black drum. Most all of the fish were caught on grubs w or w/o cajun. No one color worked better than others. Great day on the water. Can't wait to go back.

What? We have our 2 over 20" and the rest are over 16". If it's not a legal fish it's a short. If it's legal it's gonna come home for dinner. I don't know about you but I like to eat fish.
