Sorry for the late post.

Got a trip together with "Bohunterbiff", his friend Ted, and myself. After the long awaited trip (almost a year) we launched at Ellenders bridge with high hopes.

Got to Turners, hopes soon died down. Robert hooked a 37.11lb big nasty on a glow/cart cocahoe. We picked a trout out of turners about every 10 minutes or so.

Speckdaddy text me and said birds were at mid lake---easy pickings.

It was true, caught a few fish per set until the trolling motor mounts broke on the boat.

We got a little frustrated, so we went to the ship channel. On the way there we seen a big group of birds forming, so we decided to make a drift. Picked up ~10 on that drift and the armada set in. Never seen 9 boats work a set of birds. No one lost their temper's, so we left before we lost ours.

Hit the rocks of the ship channel for reds, notta

Made a run to the salt ditch to a cut and picked up a small flounder.

Birds started working the whole width of the salt ditch and it was trout after trout until we hit 41.

Finished the day with 41 trout, 1 red, 1 flounder. All fish caught on Avacado/chart sand eel, glow/chart cocahoe, white gulp mullet and chart gulp mullet.

Winds sucked until about 11am
