Water temps upriver were 65, and near the bay, they were 59f. I started fishing a few bars, and managed a consistent trout bite for awhile. While on an outgoing tide, I realized my spot would soon become oyster bar, so I headed further south down the river.
I made it to another oyster bar, and began fishing again, and this is when it began to get unpleasant. Despite the 1pm forecast, several showers began rolling through, and despite a T-top and isinglass enclosure, it was getting wet. Thankfully, the fish don't know when it's wet, and they kept biting. There were a few other boats in sight, and several of them with no T-top, which seemed to be incredibly miserable.
I ended up headed in around 11, much earlier than planned, but with 3 trout for dinner, and sadly no redfish. I'm certainly looking forward to the warmer days of spring, which cant be too far around the corner.
