Michelle and I had the chance to fish Baffin with Aubrey Black and Sally Moffett on Fri and Sat and had a great time in spite of the full moon. Friday we fished the rocks and Aubrey snagged a beautiful 29" trout. She surfaced right after he set the hook and we knew he a big girl on. Big, deep swirl, fun to watch him bring her in. We did some sight casting in the afternoon and Cissy (showing off her Redfish sports bra in the photo below) caught a nice Red. On Saturday, Sally took us for some morning topwaters and we scratched out a few -- bait everywhere, mostly just popping at our lures, but fun action. Late morning she took us shallow water sightcasting and Michelle caught 2 reds back to back in a pothole. One huge Red broke Cissy off -- one of those 50 mile an hour hits that nearly rips your rod out. SNAP, fish is gone. My experience was not nearly as exciting as I was apparently sightcasting to Mullet...hey, they were BIG Mullet...("well damn, why aren't they hitting my lure??" duh...) Michelle finished off her limit and picked up a couple of trout at our next stop...I think she might be a sightcasting convert now. If you like labradors, swimming pools, great food and fishing, you gotta stay with Aubrey sometime --- they had 4 labs in the pool horsing around and hanging out in the pool. It was an awesome time.
