Icky 6/24

What a day! Me, my brother, and my 2 youngest sons were on the water about 0715. Our first stop was at our Rock Bass hole. My youngest, Zach, caught one on his first cast. I caught a Spanish shortly there after. We never could get on them due to the wind, so we decided to go after trout. We caught maybe a dozen trout with only one keeper (21" caught on Catch 2000), when the wind quit. Dang it got hot and the fishing sorta died. It was getting close to high tide and we decided to try something we never really had done. We went in and started fishing creeks. We only had two fish in the livewell (trout and a spanish), and although we didn't fill it up in the creeks we had a blast. We caught 4 reds (two rats, one keeper, and one 29" beast). I think my baby brother has turned into a red fisherman. The keeper and the beast were caught by him. The two rats I caught. We also caught 3 Flounder, 1 good keeper by my brother, and my 9yr olds first and second ever flounder - with one being a keeper. Brennan (9yr old) also added a keeper trout.

Total for the day:
4 Reds - 1 keeper
A dozen trout - 2 keepers
3 Flounder - 2 keepers
1 Ladyfish
1 Catfish
1 lizard fish
12 hand sized Pinfish
1 Spanish
And last but not least 1 sea turtle (released unharmed)

Execellent Job and Report

I gather at least some of your party was fishing artificals... was that all or did you have some other bait out as well?

All were fishing artificials. Reds were caught on gold spoons. Trout on CT's with Gulps, plain jigs with Gulps, and Catch 2000's. Flounder were caught on spoons and jigs(Gulps). All the pinfish we caught were to big to use as bait.
