Made a late decision to fish...left the house at 4:15 and walked in at 5pm. Had a corky in white/gold/chartruese on that I was going to fish with till I walked out. Humped out to a piece of mud/shell with a hole to my left and a reef/ledge edge sloping away to my right. It was about 5:25pm, and the sun had already dropped below the horizon when I made my first cast...
Wind was a litte north of east <10, water was in good shape for post front probably about 18 inches visability, not as low as I expected after the front, and the tide was coming in. Was throwing the corky up current and letting it drift across the shell, bumping it off the bottom, mostly just keeping it from hanging up. First fish hit hard at 5:45, nice little fryer at a hair over 17, had one pull off about the same size on the very next cast. Caught the 2nd keeper about 10 minutes later when I was answering a text!!!the corky was laying on the bottom about 10-15yds from me in the hole to my left, took up the slack and the trout was there, a hair under 16.
That was all the action, casted until about 6:45 and walked out, nice evening, only a few mosquitoes and no other fisherman when I left...talked to 3 different sets of waders/yaks wading in, no one admitted to having any luck...may be back tonight, Ive got a lot of fried turkey, dressing, mash potatoes, pecan pie, etc., to wade off before Christmas!
