I posted a message in the Fishing area this morning - I was concerned with the east wind. Anyway, I said I'd report how we did. It ended up being a good day on the water with my 18 year old son.

We had 5 keeper trout, no shorts. Shortest was 18.5, largest was 22. We also caught one keeper red (22.5) and 6 rat reds. Also got one flounder. We lost two keeper trout right at the boat.

All the fish were caught on jigs with Gulp!. No cajun thunder, just bouncing jigs (which is my preferred method). A mentor once told me that "All self respecting fish want to be caught off the bottom".

The wind did give us some problems because it kept blowing us away from where we like to fish (hint). The fish bit better on the rising tide.

There were bait fish everywhere. Saw one baby tarpon flash near the boat and saw an osprey catch a mullet. Again, a good day on the water.

I will post a picture once I can figure out how to do it.

OK. I give up trying to figure out by myselft how to post a picture - at least till after dinner. Can I upload a picture from my PC? Are there directions on the website somewhere?

Thanks,

PerryFisherman,

Try the testing forum. Thats where most people initially try to figure the while picture thing out and I think theres a post or two that might explain it. If not, the long and short of it is you have to have the picture compresed or something so that it doesnt take too much memory. There are picture hosting sites such as "my fishing pictures", "fishing forum picture processor", "photo bucket" and the like that will allow you to process a picture and save it, then you will have a URL for that formated picture location on the web. When you are ready to post the picture on here, first click the button up top that says "Img" then past in the URL of your picture and click on the "Img" button again imediately following the end of the pictures URL. That should do it. If theres anything I missed hopefully someone will chime in.

Sounds like you had a good day on the water.


Well there ya go, Rocket beat me to it

Hopefully, the picture will be with this reply. Thanks for everyone's help.
