It took all day

Got to the lighthouse ramp at 7:30am Saturday. High tide at 8:30 am.
There was not enough water to launch the boat.
Went to the fort. OK there. However,too little water meant a change in fishing plans. So, off we went searching in a different direction. Up the river,down the river,up a creek down a creek,in a bayou,out of a bayou,up another river,down another river. No fish..no fish..no fish etc.
By then with the incoming evening tide we found them along a oyster bar. In an hour 4 of us boated 50-60 trout and 4 reds. A fast bite that started and ended abruptly.
A productive day on the water exploring some potentially good places for Spring fishing. The clear shallow water made for good scouting.

Spending the whole day on the water soothes my heart. Fish or no fish..
