Post by dolphinatic »

Decided to take the morning off and try a little flats fishing to start the day. We left the fort at 9:00 on an almost high tide and headed out east of the lighthouse. We started fishing in 3-4 ft. with no action. Moved out to 6 ft. and landed one 16" trout. Caught a few pinfish and sent them out under a CT. Within 5 or so minutes a 22" spanish nailed one of them. We had a few more hits with the pins, but none got hooked. I went back to using a firetail Sureketch and boated one more short trout. We found a nice school of spanish, but they were hitting the grubs so hard at the boat we kept getting broke off :x After 10 minutes or so of this, we decided to do a little trolling. Got one strike at the spoon and after 30 minutes of nothing else, we decided to call it a morning. By this time, the wind was blowing us all over the place anyhow. Reeled in the spoon and noticed that the hook had been broke off :o ....go figure :roll: Anyhow, not the best morning for fishing, but it still beat work :wink:
