After moving my daughter I hooked the old Tin Can up and headed south. I launched at the lighthouse about 1:30 and headed east. The first stop was around black rock. The wind was out of the NNE at about 10 mph. I made several drifts, starting in the black rock area , and worked my way west. The water temp was 73 degrees, the bottom was visible in 2' of water, and low tide was at 3:09. There is still a dark stain to the water. The last drift was south of Stony Bayou. I fished until 6:00. Final tally - 6 trout, 5 of which were keepers, and 1 rock bass. All were caught in 3' to 4' of water on a jig and grub fished slowly on the bottom. I couldn't get them to touch a cajun thunder rig. Even though the numbers werent great, I did not catch a catfish. Maybe the catfish have moved on, I hope. There were nice fluffy clouds, the breeze was cool, and I had a wonderful afternoon just being out there.
"nice fluffy clouds", you sure you ain,t jumped the gun and got one of them Frog Togg suits already ?
Yes, he does already have one Cran
The onle Trout I cought today was a 20"er fishing along the bottom with just a jighead with FishBites hooked on it

TC, that's what your supposed to be doing every day. Not all that dang work related stuff. Your making us dread retireing, if ya got to work so hard like you do.
Hush now TC. We don't want everybody to rush to get a "Gubment job." Then they wouldn't be nobody to work, everybody would be on annual leave (or use or lose sick leave) fishing.
CS, you're corect. When I worked for the Gubment I had plenty of time to take off and fish. Now that I'm self employed (no longer retired) there is no personal leave, no sick leave, no pain holidays, and no weekends.
without ever saying GREAT WAY TA END THE DAY
