Woke up with the Monday blues, decided the only cure was to spend some time on the flats. I put in at 11:30 and had planned to explore some new spots, but the East flats looked so inviting that I never went anywhere else. With the incoming tide and a gentle breeze out of the south, my driftline was consistent. I had the best action in 5-6 feet using Gulps. Water temps ranged from 72 - 73. By 5:00, the winds were picking up a little, so I headed in.

Tally:
12 trout (mostly shorts)
1 Spanish
Numerous Ladyfish

Blues are gone for now, but Tuesday morning is looking a little shaky...

Oh come on, being a retired Marine can't be that bad! We should schedule a little veteran's fishing tournament to see which service can haul in the most. Go AF! :-D
