Just couldn't help myself! Got everything cleaned up from thins AM, picked up some gas and knew I'd just end up napping the afternoon away. Sooo, loaded up my boat and took off for a C&R trip! A two-fer Tuesday!
Pulled up to island and everything looked fantastic: rain bait and mullet rafts and clean green water. Tried topwater, but trout would only slap at it. Had a jig rod ready, but wanted to see the flush! Moved down the island to the opposite point and it was on. The fish weren't big, but their attitude was oversized! caught and released a half dozen on top before deciding I wanted to feel the "thump". Even tried a tandem rig and caught a few doubles. Greenheads were chewing on my ankles and driving me nuts, but the action was too good to stop and deal with it.
Bigger fish than the surf this AM, but still in the small category.
With 45 minutes of daylight left, I decided to try another area. Wrong wrong wrong! Bait and good water was there, but nary a strike. Headed in after graphing a point and finding a nice long hard mud bar off of an island.
Good times X2!
