VBay Night Run 10/4_5
 

Hit the water with Gilmo and another buddy at about midnight, wind blowing real solid from the east and the water was up over the wharf (even higher when we left.

Nothing for the first hour and a half except for a red. Then a switch flipped and we started catching a ton of white trout with a few specks mixed in. We missed a bunch of fish, so I know we would have had more specks mixed in. Bite and presentation seemed like it changed every 5 minutes, which was interesting. Dropped a couple flounder at the boat and landed 2, the first one was nice but number two was the biggest I've seen (haven't targeted flounder much, so it may not be all that big???).

Back to the launch before day break, with only a couple of boats putting in.

Didn't venture far from Quintana, was nice out and my first night trip definitely won't be the last - no way anyone can come jump you because they'll never see the rod bend!

Nice flattie!!!! Stuff dat!!!

Nice catch "Gooches" :D Yall didn't keep any of them whities?

Dang nice! was it difficult to see while navigating and fishing?

Ha! We sure did, there's some in the pic. We caught those little things for a couple hours nearly non stop. Most were too small. I don't discriminate, those tasty suckers never miss my box if they are big enough.

We didn't go far. I trusted my snail trails and If Gilmo went blind he'd still be able to get around out there.

Full moon and clear sky wouldn't be a problem at all. Going real slow is easy to do when you have nowhere to be, nobody blocking, and nobody calling!

Wow!! That's a big flatty!!! Nice!!

Nice flatty!

Been a while since I've done a night trip. Adds a completely different element. Lots of fun, ready to do it again. And that was a nice flatly. Years since I've seen one that big!!

Nighttime and a tropical storm....have the whole bay to yourself!!
