Daniel and I got to the ramp at 6:00 anticipating not having enough water to get out later and ran out the river with a spotlght. Got out there far enough to shut down and spent some time rigging up in the dark. While still dark Daniel caught a huge sail cat on a topwater and then a bonita(I think) After the sun got up we commenced to fishing. The water was very clear and 72degrees. We put 6 solid fish in the box by 8:30 then it got reel slow for while. By around 1:30 we finished our limit of trout and moved towards Hickory mound to see if we could manage a red or two. I caught a nice flounder then Daniel caught a black drum. Most all of the fish were caught on grubs w or w/o cajun. No one color worked better than others. Great day on the water. Can't wait to go back.

Sweet! I'm looking forward to trying that place out.

Great report ! Glad ya'll caught them.........

Frying them up right now.

What? We have our 2 over 20" and the rest are over 16". If it's not a legal fish it's a short. If it's legal it's gonna come home for dinner. I don't know about you but I like to eat fish.

that a great catch,way to go I think them other guys are just jealous,by the way you got any leftovers

Aquaholic, jealous of what?

Let em go so they can grow cuz....... nothing wrong with keepin a few to eat but they never get any bigger in the cooler!!!

i'm sure not jealous either,been letting my limit go everytime the last few trips out to let em grow and especially with the club tourney coming up.i keep enough for a meal to eat when i do keep em,not to big on freezing trout for later on.

thanks for the report HnM. Nice looking dish of fish and grits.
