Chocolate Bay / Halls / Chocolate Bayou 9.2.2011
Castaway300, Mrs. buoy37 and I fished for 9 solid hours and have little to show for it. We launched from Lutes at 6:45am and the first thing we noticed was how the tide was way higher than normal this morning. All low lying shorelines and fields were filled with water. The bait fish and birds had acres and acres of new wetlands to explore. It was was very hard to find any action because all the activity was on the newly flooded land.
No birds working! No slicks popping! Wind picking up! What in the hell do we do?
We ended up catching several fish today, but none of them were keeper sized. I scratched out the smallest Texas Slam possible. I called it a Midget Slam. I consisted of a speck and red around 7" each and a flounder around 10".
I consider the highlight of the day to be when castaway300 was crankin' a Chocolate Bayou shoreline for reds and had a nice flounder attack his crankbait. Who would have thunk, catching flounder with a bass bait?
We will be at it again during the Lutes tournament next Saturday. I hope the solid fish loosen up by then.
