Left fort about 8 yesterday. Probably should have slept in as there was no water well out. It was essentially a -2' tide. Windy till about 11 or so. Fished behind a sandbar east of the channel to stay out of wind and picked up a few shorts on jigs - go figure . Finally made it out and around worked in on the tide.
Rode the tide in spooking a lone trout or occassional red in 8" of water. That kept my hopes up. Worked in to a creek mouth and anchored up, per TC's rx. Anyway managed 7 trout there most between 18-20. Was about to leave and threw one last time and picked up a 24" trout on topwater! Released to breed Chalk
Went looking for some reds and found 4. All in all a nice afternoon on the water after wind laid some.
This morning my lovely wife asked me "how can you stay out there all day by yourself on the water" ----I dared not tell her .

My wife doesn't ask that question any more. She just wants to know where I'm going in the event I don't come home. She said something about the insurance not paying unless there was a body.
