Hit the lighthouse at 7:30. Very little water. Water temp 56°, wind out of the NNW about 5 knots. We tried east and west of the rock garden from 2 - 6 feet with 1 trout. At 10 am we moved to the peter's rock area in 8 -10 feet of water. Tide finally started moving, the wind died and the sun shone bright. Water temp finally up to 62.5°. Started catching fish if not on every cast, then every other cast. Fish wanted Candy Corn SWA and Orange Crush Victimizer grubs on a straight jig. I tried to catch fish on anything else besides a jig but they didn't want it. Also got cut off several times but fish were very leader shy.
Ended up catching >50 trout keeping 10 between 16-19.5, 20 bluefish keeping 2 and 5 spanish, keeping 2. Threw back probably 2 two-man limits of keeper trout.
It was deja vu from the last tournament. The fish were concentrated in the "muddy" water. You can clearly see the brown spots on the flats and that's where the fish are. The trout were so thick we were foul hooking them in the back. Fish would hit and be on before you could close the bale on the reel. Left them biting.
Back on the trailer at 1:45. Nice day on the water.
Ya'll dang shure done better than we did over around Piney Island only one fish and the wife caught it water temp over there is at 67 again but the fish are scatered and the wind picked up pretty good after we got there around 1:30. I shure need ta get them girls on some fish next trip. That is one heck of a killer day ya'll had
