Was out on Ochlockonee Bay and the gulf side of alligator point earlier this morning, water still looks like gravy. Visibility well less than a foot.

Today I got beaten by a woman. I was in the elevator when that busty thing got in. I was staring at her tits, when she said, would you please press 1? I did. I don't know why I got beaten afterwards.

We made it out for a few hours. We had some engine trouble right off the bat that slowed us down, but all in all we were happy. We saw our first flounder within 10 minutes, he was just legal, so we touched him with a prong and scooted him on for later days. Within 45 minutes we had 3 flounder, two of which were sure enough doormats, in fact they were the biggest I can ever recall sticking. After that we saw a couple small ones that didn't pass muster. We did put 3 mullet in the boat as well. Like I said, all in all it wasn't a bad trip. The clarity wasn't great, especially since there was a "film" on top of the water. Winds were good until around midnight when they picked up, so we left. In a nutshell, 3 hours, 3 flounder and 3 mullet and we made it out and back safely, it was a successful night to me.

Sounds like a good night. Glad you found a few. Did you end up in Lanark or O bay?
