Launched the Red Cross boat at the lighthouse at 0700 this morning. It was windy. But, I headed east, anyway.

Water temp was 76 degrees and the wind was out of the south at 100 mph, all day.

Caught 5 short trout, 1 blue fish, and 1 ladyfish on the rising tide. Could not slip up on a red without spooking them.

About 2:30, I was working a shoreline and saw pod after pod of bait fish coming my way. So, i found an ambush point, ran the bow of the boat on shore, and proceeded to wait.

I landed 4 reds, had several more hit, and broke one off in the next 2 hours. None of the fish I landed were keepers. But I did manage 4 of these.




They were all four almost identically the same size. All were between 30" and 31". All were released healthy, in hopes of giving someone else the same very good day I had.

Nice catch. Who took the picture?

I did. The camera has a timer.

I bet that made you feel better. Very nice red. What'd you catch'em on?

The red one.

10-4.

Them some nice fishies TC. That especially impressive during 100 MPH winds. Chalk's whinin' when they're just 70 MPH.

Nice feesh there TC! If you found a spoon in it, its mine

SR would have gone. I would have gone. Birddog would have gone. Slow Reel would have gone.
You preferred to fish with your camera.
What's wrong with this picture?

First of all, I didn't make the decision to go until 5:30 this morning. Second, if I fish by myself, I can talk to myself, and I'm guarranteed an intellagent conversation.

What kinda facial expression is that, looks like you got a sweet tart on the tart side

Nice minnow....

Contrary to your belief schizophrenia does not constitute intelligence.
However, both of you could argue that out all day long.

heck - I would have gone! much better trying to reconcile a moving target in the water than the one in the office

I was straining to hold that fish up. Been kinda weak lately.

You talking to yourself again, Cleopheous?
