Launched and in the water before sunrise at the HWY146 bridge.
Very windy and out of the channel and into Dickinson bay, almost turned around because of swells but trimed the engine up and was able to procede to the flood gates and into Moses Lake. Found a little shelter and managed 2 keeper Flounder and one barley 15" Speck.
My fishing partner was Scott, an old friend and recent work mate at my plant.
Here be Scott with his 2 Flatties.
And here be Scott thinking he be all that!
We didn't do to well in the lake, mostly a lot of Rat Reds and undersized Specks and suddenly we were out of bait. We hit the camp inside of Moses lake but they had no bait. By tis time the winds had laid down and the bay was almost calm so we went to Topwater Grill to see if Boyd's was set up but there was no one there. The restraunt looks like it is getting close to being finished, there are even pick-nick benches outside now.
Here's a very short vid of what it looks like.

Then we headed for Gastian's and they had bait so we got one more qt. and headed to one of the gas wells in Dickinson Bay were we did our best.
Let's just say they shell pads are easy fishing for respectable Reds.
Short vid...

Somehow I screwed up and cut the vid short but this was that fish, a 24"er.
And a few more...

Not a lot of fish but still managed a good time.
Tight Lines!
