Fishing was slow for us. Threw the tackle box and the net at 'em. We even threw cooked shrimp left over from a low country boil.

Caught some quality fish though. Ran into a big school of mullet a couple miles out from Hickory Mound. They were moving fast. Managed 5 before they disappeared. Picked the sheepy up on some shell bottom with the net. Caught some short reds in the net as well in about 3 ft. Saw you at the ramp Hit-n-Miss but never caught up with ya. Lots of boats. FWC was at the ramp when we left, very cordial.

Yeah I waved at the FWC guy when pulling out and am surprised he did not come over to us. We are always legal and I guess he noticed we weren't nervous acting so did not check us. What boat were you in? Looks like you did good considering how slow it was. We worked hard for the fish we got. Heard one guy on radio saying they had 16 trout. I don't see how. But you never know. Hate I missed meeting another member.

Thanks for the good report. Was good to hear FWC was nice They are mostly good folks. I've only ran into one jerk among a lot of good ones.

Yeah I heard mixed reports on the radio. Just couldn't hem them up. We were in the pontoon with the big ol' net casting deck on the front. I get a lot of strange looks.

That's been my experience as well.

. To the left just out from the ramp where the FWC guy was checking? I figured he'd walk to us next.
