Put in at the lighthouse and ran east in the dark. The tide was already low when first light came. I caught 1 pup red and a short trout fairy quick. Then things slowed down. I decided to stay in shallow on the low tide to see if I could get any indication of where the reds hold on a low tide. The tide chart called for a low of 1.2 feet this morning. That's low enough. Had it gotten any lower I would have sat on the bottom till the tide came back. But, I was able to pole around a little and managed a 26" red on a dead low tide, in less than a foot of water. After the tide turned I couldn't buy another bite. I started drifting for trout about 11:00. The wind had picked up and I wasn't able to see anything. I couldn't even tell where the bait schools were. Caught 15 or so short trout and 1 keeper at 18". Put it on the trailer and headed home around 3.
