Fun day
 

Had some of the family in from Kentucky. By the time everybody got moving and set we did not hit the water till about 11:30. Not bad because this limited the time on the water and I knew all would be sun burned quickly.

On the first stop Mam, as in yes mam, hooked up right away and after a good fight she had her first ever redfish which was a good one. This happened to be the biggest of the day also. It was just over 9 pounds

Seeing it was a family fun trip I went exploring new areas. Found a lot of fish in back water areas. A lot of rat reds to weed through but did manage 8 for the box and one black drum. Managed about 3 1/2 hours on the water. The bay boat ran well and the more I use it the more I like it. Still not ready to give up the Glaycer Bay or the offshore fishing for years to come.

Some of the guys are bringing some nice speckled trout to the docks. I have yet to even begin to look for them or run across them. Did have an asian carp almost jump in my boat when I was in yellow cotton bay. It hit the side of my motor cowling.

Life is Good!
Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that.
