Hit the water about 7:30 and as Chalk stated earlier, a pretty stiff breeze. Headed the southwest. Had trouble keeping the ladyfish and small blues off long enough to find anything else. Switched tackle and started picking up small trout. Made a move and found some bigger trout.
Pulled several cookie cutters this size (right around 20"). Saw some bigguns mixed him with them; but, never hooked into one. Was getting time to go and decided to make one more move. Glad I did redfishes everywhere. They were kind of spooky. Managed two...one small and this one at about 25".
By this time, had to get going. A fine day on the water. Finally tally was around 15 trout, 2 reds, a bunch of ladyfish and blues, too many stupid lizardfish to count, and a flounder. Also saw more sheepshead than I think I've ever seen.

Exactly what I was thinkin' when I was reading Noles report. I bet his flyrod would have put a whoopin' on them. Flyrod in my hand would have served to place a hook in my ear

Nicely done, E-Man. Looks like you're tuned up for the 14th.
And get off your wallet and get a radio that works

Oh My! 
Based on rule #24
The Tournament Director may implement additional tournament specific rules and restrictions for individual tournaments. Entrants are responsible for understanding rules for each tournament
I think I sense an "additional specific rule" coming from the Tournament Director....."
entrants who prefish a tournament location more than twice prior to a tournament shall be disqualified"
