Wanted to goto North and West Bay but the ramps and a negative forced me to goto East bay, which I have a love/hate relationship with...I hate to fish it but the fish are usually bigger if you can find them..That leads me to fishing and looking at about 6 miles of nothing but finger mullet, pinfish and large trout. The large trout didn't want a spoon and I blew a shot at nice sow with the flizzie by having my head up my azz.

I kept thinking that I wasn't following my own post front advice, but I was seeing plenty of active bait on the shallow flats....after hours of not seeing a single red, I finally took my advice and eased up a creek....didn't take long for me to feel the tap tap on the jig and I hooked my first red of the day in the middle of a creek, unfortunately it came off at the boat ...hind sight being 20/20 I should have listened to myself

Motored out to the flat and decided to finish fishing the flat out....same old mullet jumping and swirling...gold avenger goes down range and I feel the line go tight and the rod double over....oh yeah daddy still has it

Second fish of the day 27.25" and 7 lbs of gold bliss



I decided to call it a day, didn't have anywhere I wanted to fish and it was getting late....boat ran great, new trolling motor is the skizzle and the new TFO TICR X 9 wt is a thing of beauty, to bad there wasn't any redfish seen to sample my offering...maybe next time

Nice red..........did you leave the comb at the ramp?

I tested it really well yestdy...I do not think I would of lasted half the time with the 12...at times I just pointed into the wind and using the TM to hold me still. Only negative is I can tell there is another 50 pounds on the boat, maybe I should loose some weight
