Got a couple firsts for the year!
With all the bait returning I wanted to go and try my luck gigging. Got out later than I wanted in the morning and found a couple of beds and got one 17"er. As the sky started to glow I began to run into silt puffs instead of sleeping fish. Went and exchanged the light for the fishing rod.
Caught 2 ~19" trout on a skitterwalk jr. pretty quick (forgot how much fun those blowups are), then the bite died. Nothing on jigs. Headed home and was back by 9:30.
Can't complain about the first gigged flounder and topwater trout of the year. Looking forward to more in the upcoming months.
