This is my example:
(THIS IS A FAKE REPORT SO DO GO TAKE MY SPOT!!!)
We have been catching a good bit of trout lately. When the tide is incoming which it has been in the mornings this week we have done pretty well along the flats of the ship channel. Mostly using darker colored artificial and also under a popping cork with live shrimp. Water was pretty calm early but the wind has been picking up around 10am making spotting the slicks a little tougher. Water temp was around 70° and salinity was at 5.2ppm.

DONT GO STEAL MY SPOT!!!

I agree, and it happens thus the holy beach and wash out example, but on the other hand, holy beach the boats were so packed you could almost walk across them, as well the last time I was at the wash out well before sun rise there was just I and another boat, just as the sun rose there was about 15 boats in a matter of 30 mins...........

I have a few friends on the lake that if Im having a rough day Ill call and see if they know anything as well, they will call me if they know Im there, sorta networking with friends

not sure what else I can say or help with, just take what you can from reports and do a mental copulation and make your best judgment call with what you know, it will come, with time.
