Left the fort at daylight. There was a light southeast breeze on the flats, and the water temp was 73 at 8 this morning. Went deep to start, cause there wasn't any water up shallow. Caught 2 trout, 2 spanish, and got cut off half a dozen times. Got tired of donating tasckle and headed shallow. First stop shallow was worth 4 keeper trout, all over 18". This was a spot I had never fished.

Around noon the light breeze turned into a steady 10 out of the south. Moved to spot 2 and immediately caught a 24" trout. Released the fish and threw back to the same area, and hooked up again. Didn't take long to figure out this wasn't a trout. The first red of the day was 33 inches. Followed a school for a while and cqaught 9 more. Then I remembered I had orders from Jumptrout to THINK TROUT. Went trout lookin and found a few more.

Total for the day:

12 trout from 17" to 24"
11 reds from 18" to 33"
2 spanish
1 sunburn (First day of the year in shorts and sandals)

Headed in at 4:30. The water temp was up to 78 by then.

Sure did beat workin.

Good day, TC. My spies saw where you were fishing today.

And what spies would that be?

Nice

Did you notice a green Fisher alum. boat nearby?

I never got within half a mile of another boat today.

Doesn't matter. I got a phone call. They were able to describe you to me.

You can run but you can't hide.
