I assume that you would've went North if you could have.
Not a bad day one the water if you were sight seeing. Glad you got out there.

Spring's right around the bend BH. Peter Cotton tail is hoppin' down the bunny trail as we speak. You were just doing reconnaissance.

Those crabs could have been easily caught. They were frozen.
There was nothing moving out there. What reds we saw were gone as soon as we saw them. Never saw a trout. The birds weren't moving. We never saw a mullet. It was dead out there.
Enjoyed the ride, BH. I'll tag along any time.

I was down that way on the 1st, did good on reds in the canal, then hooked a good fish on the cape side late in the after noon on my fly rod while learning how to cast. He schooled me and got off. Saw 6 of them, all of them were upper slot fish. (first post)
