Went out with friend and forum member skeeter-eater in his Riverhawk. Road looks like it has been bombed by WWII aircraft. Wind was howling. The morning low tide was a very low tide.

Finally got out into water where we could at least run the trolling motor and started hitting up creeks with an incomming tide. It took a long time to find them but we managed a few mid-slot reds from one creek. Bites all occurred later in the day. Inline spinnerbait was the go-to weapon.

Overall it was a difficult day with the low water, cold temps and howling wind but it was fishing (some catching) so we can chalk it up to a win. All fish were C&Red. Eight light beers were sacrificed during the creation of this report.
