I hit the lighthouse ramp at about 6:30. The weather was perfect. I got to my first spot at around 7:00, just as first light was peeking over the horizon. The floating grass was quite abundant dashing my top water hopes. I was able to get a couple of followers, but I suspect they were ladyfish. Spots 2,3, and 4 were strikeouts also. I went out to deep water at 10:30 hoping to get a couple of trout or sea bass,nothing. I moved in a little closer and picked up two small jacks. Then I moved in a little closer still, and picked up two cats. Not even were the pinfish hitting my gulp offering.
A very slow day and a nearly non existent bite, but it beat the snot out of working.
Water temp was 82 degrees most of the day. Made it up to 85 by 2:00. The wind started out at 5-7 from the east and wound up at 5-7 from the south. Even 4 miles out seas were less than a foot. Water clarity is very poor. If visibility is more than a foot I would be surprised.
Thank goodness for "next time".
