While the catchin was slow, the company and good friendship was excelent :thumbup: The weather just did not want to cooperate with us and made the fishin tough. We did have a couple boats brave the rough seas, but they just couldn't get on the Trout :smt012 but they did find a bunch of short Reds and a couple keepers also :thumbup: With the low tide being during the night and a nip tide during the day, we would have had a tough time catching fish most anywhere. We did finaly have enough caught buy Sunday afternoon to fry up a fish dinner for all and not have to worry about bringing any back in the ice chest :wink: The final tally was 7 keeper Bass, 11 Bream, 1 Channle Cat "caught 2 miles off shore" :o and 2 Reds :oops: :oops: I think we killed about a million noseeums, but left them with a few billion more :smt065 the marina ran out of beer by Sunday afternoon also :smt025 :beer: We will be back for another trip next year cause we know this was not a typical catch for the area and the folks we met where all good folks and tried ta help us as much as was possible :smt023 :beer: I did fish from 7 to 9:30 Monday morning "lowest tide we seen there" and caught and released 7 Bass "which proves that the tides and weather was the main factor to me" :smt025 :beer: :beer:

I suspect it beat working.

It's a different place to fish. The companionship is what it's all about.
