Charles Pulley and I put the boat in at about 8 this morning. We saw fish moving before we got out of the Shell Poit channel. Drifted a little and caught a couple of trout. Moved on to our first stop in search of reds. Charles managed one short. Then the fishing went downhill. We fished several places during the rising, high, and falling tide. Nada! We could not find the reds today. We did make a couple of drifts and picked up several short trout and 3 keepers. Put the boat back on the trailer at around 4:30.
Charles I enjoyed having you aboard with me today. It's a pleasure to fish with a fisherman, even on a bad day.

Appreciate you taking me, TC. Great day on the water.
I find it very interesting how the same place I was walking into to wade fish last week and doing so well on the reds and big trout was a place you have done well on before.
It was a S-L-O-W day for reds. Next time we'll get an earlier start for them.
All, the trout were hitting out in the bay in around 4' of water over grass in the middle of day, which tells me they were probably hitting all day long. TC caught most of them on a jig under a Cajun Thunder. I caught a very few on a 52M26 MirrOLure. Nothing big, though.
Again, great day on the water with a great fisherman. Thanks, TC.

Nice report, and it is good to see you two "pros" out together. I'd have given "anything" to have been a "fly on the wall" just watching your respective techniques.
I want to go this out sometime this weekend, and I hope the red tide isn't there.......
thanks for reportin'!
