V-Bay this week ??

I fished Monday, Diamond, Caldwell, Tette Butte, Hell Hole, You name it. Caught two reds in Little White Lake right after the sun came up, didn't put another fish in the box after that. Water was pretty but fresh. Got bad in the afternoon with South wind and strong falling tide, felt like I was in a washing machine. Just got back from FWC, caught a bunch of bull reds at one of Vermilion 26 satellites, couple of Jacks, hooked a ling but I was by myself and couldn't get the gaff on him quick enough and he freaked. Caught a few small trout but nothing for the box. Got to go to work tonight so had to cut it short. Think I could have done well this afternoon with the major tidal movement. Water 3 to 4 miles out is the best I've seen it in a while. Hopefully that SW wind will blow some good water in there.

Did almost a "carbon copy" of your trip yesterday (Wednesday) with worse results. Didn't put one fish in the box. Water dirty on the reefs and in the pass, but found nice water outside in Tiger Shoals area, but with no current and my lack of skills, didn't boat one trout. We fished the morning due to the forecast for afternoon T-storms and had to dodge a big one when we came thru the pass. Tried the island with shrimp, but no takers. Oh well, another day of fishing not catching. Had two friends onboard and the camaraderie was worth the trip even tho we didn't catch.
