Slow tides and bigger trout
6.9.14
We have a micro full moon, so the tides are running slow, but it gives you a longer window to fish your drops.
We managed 3 really nice 18" trout today.
Nancy put the first toothy fellow of the year in the boat this morning.

Then coincidentally I caught this shark bitten trout a few casts later. Guess it's bad to be on the wrong end of the food chain.
Nancy also lost a bull red on some cut mullet due to a poorly tied knot, I gotta get better boat mates!

Having To Hunt Them Down
6.5.17
Water Temp 83 degrees
Knowing that we had our work cut out for us, we headed out on a dead high tide.
Cast, Cast, Cast, and more casting we finally got a bite after a couple of hours of flogging the water.
Then realizing the fish were low in the water column, I started getting a consistent bit slow rolling a twister tail.
The first sign of them laying low was swinging this trout over and having him splatter mud all over the boat.

You can see his muddy belly.
And the mud all over the boat.
All in all we brought in 7 trout, 6 were keepers.
This picture I turned in to this masterpiece via the Waterlogue app.
Summer continues and fishing will continue to be fishing and not catching!

A Fish Potpourri
I think that is how you spell it.
6.1.2017
Thinking of my Dad on his birthday as we headed out to the salt this morning.
As you can see in the pics below in the instagram posts the assorted bite was on. Besides the red and flattie we brought a jack crevalle and a bunch of trout to the boat at our first drop.
The water is at 82 degrees now. Getting real summer like. The tide was gently easing off the bar and the fish were cooperating on trout tricks and gulp shrimp.
We had some fiddler crabs and travelled to the Broad River bridge to try on the low and incoming tide.
I had one very nice sheep head come off at the boat and the rest were sea bass.
I was pretty well pooped out after fishing this morning and cleaning fish and boat in the afternoon.
Still trying to get my lazy butt moving after the inactivity due to my shoulder surgery.
