The forcast sucked when I got there "1 foot seas at the Bottoms ramp" :evil: Fished from 4 ta 8 PM and got my limit "4 of the 5 in the last hour" 16" ta 19" :thumbup: The wind died big time around 6:30 and everything went from a heavy chop to dang near slick, thunder storms all around but stayed onshore and provided no rain on the water. Water temp right at 85 and moving fast on the evening change, the fish had a very light bite and that may account for the low #'s before the calm "half the time I couldn't see the CT for the swelles".All fish caught under the CT in 2 to 3 foot of water useing a White/Red tail Shrimp or a White/Chartuese tail Shrimp, NO STRIKES ON TOP WATER :( Hopefully it was all the T'storms that had the wind and waves so bad :-D

Sounds great wevans. Nice catch AND interesting weather. For me, that is the best time to fish, as the calm approaches and the sun sinks. Heaven on earth is to be fishing on smooth water reflecting a sunset. Seems like most of the time, though, I head out in the morning, except for wade fishing. And wading at sunset may be the next level up through the Pearly Gates. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Yeah, the sea breeze and the storms sucking the air off the water made for a little chop coming back in through east pass for us yesterday.
