Finally got out.
Kicked butt.
Early the wind was down so I was able to break out the fly rod, which was my first time actually casting from a boat. I was pleased to find that being three feet off the water makes things a bit easier. After switching to a sinking fly I caught Spanish (24"), Blues, Trout and Ladyfish. Sure is pretty to hold up a fish with a fly set just in the corner of it's mouth.
Just like on TV.
The rest of the day was steady with many more of the same species and we (2 of us) kept a big supper of trout. The trout ran big and we released ~8-10 over 20 with the biggest at 24". Also brought home a 4lb Pompano, caught on a spec rig -with a Ladyfish on the other jig.
By 3:00 the wind was howling so we bounced our happy selves home.

Sounds like a great trip - especially those fish caught on a fly

Good trip...

WTG Lit, nice mix bag on the fly

I know what you mean about the wind, it was howling yesterday afternoon

Sir Reel, BTW, my pleasure on the suggestion last weekend. Bad food and/or service, can really dampen a trip. Eerman had his little one and with being worn out from fishing I figured a simple walk up the street for good cheap eats was just the thing.

Watch out for the worms in those trout....

Lit,
That sounds like a great day. The whole family enjoyed Peppers...thanks. If you ever want any specifics on the boat let me know. That whole conversation kind of got off track.

Nice

Wife wants to go to Dog Island today so I might sneak over that way for a bit.
