THE TWO OLD MEN OF THE SEA, CARL BROWN AND I, LAUNCHED THE BOAT AT THE LIGHTHOUSE POOL AT 7:00 A.M. WE FISHED THE EAST FLATS ABOUT HALF WAY TO THE #1 STAKE AND OUT FROM SHORE ABOUT 300 YRDS OUT FROM SHORE. CAUGHT 29 TROUT, PLUGS USED WERE BOMBER MULLET FLOATER , BLUE BACK AND SILVER SIDES, CHUG BUG, TOP DOGS, DOA SHRIMP VARIOUS COLORS, SALT WATER ASSINS, WHITE BODY PINK TAIL, PINK SHRIMP, WHITES WITH CHARTRUISE TAILS. ALSO LOST TWO YOZURI'S RED HEAD WHITE BODIES WHEN WE GOT INTO A SCHOOL OF 24-30" SPANISH, MANAGED TO GET ONE INTO THE BOAT BEFORE HE CHEWED THE LEADER INTO. WATER WAS BEAUTIFUL, CLEAR AS GLASS AND THE WIND WAS JUST RIGHT. BEING THE TWO OLD MEN OF THE SEA, AFTER A FEW HOURS OF FISHING WE BOTH GAVE OUT AND HAD TO COME HOME, LEFT THE RAMP AT 12:30 AND BACK TO TALLY AT 1:30, PUT ICE ON THE FISH AND WENT IN TO BED, WILL CLEAN THEM TOMORROW. WE HAD A GREAT TIME JUST BEING TOGETHER ON THE WATER FISHING.
