8/29 Report

[Nwilkins]

Couldn't sleep, crawled out of bed an hour early, loaded up the boat, headed to a ramp in Chocolate. Got on the water about 515, headed thru the fog and Choc Bayou to West Bay, to fish a reef I've neglected a long time. The first 20 minutes had a few blow ups but no takers so I switched to a plum/char tail, the 2nd or 3rd cast I had a fish hit it before it hit the water, or at least it seemed, she came out of the water shaking her head and spit it back at me, argggg. a few minutes later a solid bite and a nice 18 or 19 inch trout that shook out of my hand before I pulled my stringer argggg. Okay, I'm feeling like a idiot, should have 4 fish strung and I'm burning precious fishing time. About 30 minutes later I landed and strung my first fish of the day and it's 830. Jumped in the boat and went to the north shoreline to see how bad the grass is and searching for bait, caught one good fish on a pink skitter and got sick of pulling grass off so I headed to some mud and shell. I caught 6 nice trout from 1100 to 130 and picked up a pig on the way in, 7 of my fish were caught in the middle of the day, all on red and white sand eel jrs.


I love Mondays

Sweet day. Wish I was off to go with but there are many Mondays ahead. Can't wait for the cooler weather fishing so we can slaughter them again... Once again nice catch.
