Put in around 8ish, was suprised how smooth the water was (W/ the 15kt wind predicted). Poled around the rock garden, just kind of messing around looking for fish in shallow water and marking some rocks. Picked up a few Trout here and there mostly shorts. We set up a drift in 2-4' put one 17" trout in the boat and not much else headed out to deeper water and did about the same, the wind had picked up by this point. We ended up catching a few Spanish and more trout in about 4' of water. Lost a couple of Trout in the 16-18" range at the boat (quick release :-D ). We tried some oyster bars on the way back in with no luck. Ended the day with I don't know how many short trout (we really didnt keep track) a 22" spanish and a few smaller and about 4-5 trout in the 15-18 in range. We fished pretty hard all day and had trouble finding any big trout, but it was a really nice day on the water. I was actually suprised there were not more boats out on the water for such a nice day (happily suprised :-) . Kept the bigger Spanish, a smaller one that swallowed the hook and two trout.

Took some pics of the Western "edge" of the Rock Garden about an hour after Low tide.
