Went with this gentleman today.
In this very boat of his own custom interior design.

Let me just say that this is the most well laid out boat I have ever seen. Stowage for every necessary, and some not so necessary, thing(s). We put in at a location I have been asked not to disclose at about 6:30 this morning and fished until about 3:00 in the afternoon before beginning the run back to the ramp. Never was there anything left lying around loose on deck except my cold drink residing on the lunch table. Everything had a place. Knowing what I now know, next time I will pack more efficiently for this type of set up.
Tin-Can put us on reds on topwaters shortly after leaving the ramp and never let up. I don't know how many fish we caught. We didn't keep a tally. The species we caught the most of was trout, followed by reds, and with the usual assortment of characters, catfish and ladyfish making a periodic showing, and two flounder jumping in on the action. We started with reds on the flats in the morning. We finished with reds along the shoreline in the afternoon. With a few hours break in between times to get a solid lock on the speckled trout for a later date. Most of the trout were caught on a jig under a Cajun Thunder. The reds didn't care. They hit topwater, She-Dog and Skitterwalk, they hit 7M MirrOlures, they hit spinnerbaits and spoons.
Without a doubt a banner day with great company.
