Weather looked to be lined up for a repeat, wind blowing, clouds overhead, pressure dropping, tide moving hard, and DPop was off work today... We both wrapped up the other responsibilties, and headed out for a late afternoon run, hoping for a repeat of previous day. Got to the spot, and jumped in, with some good bait showing and great water clarity again. first thump was my shin, hitting some stupid broken off post in the water. It didn't really hurt, but I thought, I wonder if this did anything to the waders. I lifted my leg up in the water column, and saw the scuff on the waders. When I lowered my leg, I felt that disturbing, cooling sensation of water rushing into the waders. 
With the conditions like they were and Dpop making the trek, there was no way that I was getting out, so we pressed on.
We waded the area with the bait for a few minutes with no real action, so we started heading down towards the sweet spot. As we got close I noticed a couple of mullet jumping. caught two rats as I neared the area. Right as I got within casting range, WHAM! First good bite on the 51MR19, same as yesterday but 51 series. After a few seconds, it became evident that this was a good trout. Worked her closer, and saw that she was easily over 25. As I made the grab, I called Pop closer. We too two quick pics, and gave a quick pull on the Boga, at over 6 pounds, and dropped her back in the water so she could make a few million more.
Pop got two nice ones shortly after that fish, a 24 and a 25ish. Couldn't get the pics as a boat pulled close right as he grabbed the bigger one. Both were released as well.
Bite seemed to slow for a bit so we wandered around the area. we both missed a couple of bites, and Pop landed two small trout. right as the sun dropped the bait started moving again, and we both decided that it was TOP WATER TIME!! Fishing big Spooks, we bith had several blows, and each landed two trout in the 18-20 inch range. Without the overhead heatlamp, I was now getting cold, and with no big bite going we decided to cut the wade short.
Total for the day was 9 trout, from small to 26ish, and two rats. All fish were released. Baits used: 51MR19, Corky pearl/chartreuse, and Super Spooks bone and Chartreuse back.
This is the 2nd time that I have tried to post this report, first time the page locked up after the pic wouldn't load. This time the pic just won't upload. I will send it to the other puter and try from there.
