Took my 10 and 14 y.o girls to the fort around 10:45 in the morning. Headed up river. light wind out of the north, water temp63-64 degrees, tide low. One mangrove snapper? Girls bored.
Went to riverside cafe for the lunch break - good griub, great company.
Went back up riverat 2:45, day had truned much warmer, downright beautiful. Stopped at the first barge slip. Small silver trout and 4-5" specks right and left. Fished till we ran out of shrimp.
Of note - they did not seem to want a grub of any color. Once we were out of shrimp, I found an old, old dried up used fishbite in my tackle box. The 14 year old caught probably 10 more trout with the fishbite on a plain old circle hook.
One keeper silver for the day. Ten year old said she was gonna pet him and love him and call him George. Daddy said he was gonna clean him and call him delicious.
Did see one lonely pelican up river with a red or orange headed jig with chartruese grub stuck in the corner of his mouth. Hope he learned.
