Well my much anticipated trip to the coast did not disappoint. My stepson Josh and I left the house about 5:50AM (twenty minutes later than I had planned). We unloaded the SeaPro just after 7 and headed out. On the way out the river Josh snapped this photo



We had a plan to try in close hoping to bag a couple Redfish then we could foucus on the trout. Conditions were great all day long. Just a slight chop and just enough breeze for a slow drift. Josh hooked into what we think was a nice Red but we never saw it as it came unbuttoned after about 20-30 seconds of pulling drag. Never got our Reds but we did manage 7 keeper trout mostly in the 5-7 feet depth. Had 3 Manatee circle the boat twice and a Porpoise jump completely airborn as I was running about 30 MPH 25' or so off my bow . Really scared the pajeses out of me.......Never seen that before.

Here's the catch

After



Even with the Dogs losing a close one, It was another great day !!!

God continues to Bless !

Great report, Welby!

Got leftovers??

You and Josh should join the NFGFC fun at The Ecky on October9.
P.S. Bring the bride too.

Way to go! That plate makes me hungry.

Nice looking trout!

I can't decide which looks better, the trout or the trout . . .

. . . freshly caught or freshly cooked, that is.

They obviously know how to cook fish.
The backs are the best.
Dummies throw them out.

Nice job Welby! Glad you guys found the trout.

Not a bad idea, I miss fishing those tournaments.........we'll see how thing pan out. I definitly want to get back down that way. I have missed it !

Good deal. What you catch them on and what water temp?

Nice work Welby. You better get some Dawg's coasters to match that tumbler or the wifey will get upset when you put rings on that nice table

Water Temp was between 81 / 84 throughout the day. Caught most bouncing jigs off bottom with various color grubs. never found a "magic" color.
