Hit the water late Friday (9am... late for me) with some work pals and wanted to head offshore but NOAA once again had it wrong.. wind was too windy... these 2 guys haven't fished in years (20+) so I let them trout fish while i caught a couple pins for the flatlines... i fished for bait for an hour with 3 to show for it.. we moved south all day looking for clear water and never found it.. finished the day with 1 20"/18"/16" trout and 3 non-productive pin fish.

5/2
Took the wife, son, mother-in-law/sister-in-law and nephew out to boat ride and play.. finally got my 3 year old his first fish (nice pin on a Zeb 33 - - - - last trip out I HUNG HIM A BABY GROUPER, HE TURNED THE HANDLE 4 TIMES, DROPPED THE ROD AND SAID "TOO HARD!" so i was happy today) he also got a few little fish to go with it..
what surprised me was we caught 4-5 doz pin fish in an hour today after we couldn't find a 4th one yesterday... may have been the gizzards today as opposed to old 4x's frozen squid yesterday.... wind really started kicking around 1:30 so I took them up the river on a ride... I did get some good shots of 3 porpoise riding my wake - 3 foot from my transom for a while.. the kids loved that- first for me to, that close and that long! Saw a sweet rig parked on the river in front of shields, with a flats boat and crane on the front.. just in case...
Good Time!

A couple of days on the water is always good. Time with the family, even better. Glad your son caught one.

Have you ever tried a Sabiki rod for them pins? I started using one a few years ago. Tip the hooks with a little piece of Gulp and fill thge live well in no time.

I used to use a little bream rod, but now I can catch 4-5 at a time.

Good day it looks like...
Glad you got to see my boat parked at the dock. BB is supposed to buy it next week

yea we usually use the Sabiki tipped with squid... when we used the gizzard, they were all over it...

Mullet gizzard or chicken??

That yacht with the flats boat is too funny.. Looks like one of us hit the lotto or something. Haaa!!!

chicken- best bait for bait out there to me

Time on the water is good. Time with that yacht set up would be better.
