Bottoms 8/8/05

Post by wevans »

Got on the water around 4 yesterday "right at the end of the rise" fished around Piney Island, first 5 cast produced 5 short Trout :-D drifted over towards an Oyster bar and picked up a 22 inch Red :thumbup: did the drift again and hung and lost a BIG Red "probably to big ta keep" :o tide went slack and the bite quit, ran back to the flats between Piney and Bottoms and caught two more short Trout, then headed back home at 6:30 :smt004 Water temp was 81 at the creek mouth and 84 on the flats, still pretty stained but a bit clearer than Saturday morning :thumbup: :beer:

I was so glad to find Bottoms Road on Googe Maps so I know for sure how to get there. Sounds like an adventure!

Hey wevans.... isn't that the same area that they refer to as the "bottoms triangle"?? Where those mysterious sinking's and unexplained fisherman disappearances have happened? :o
