Took the wife fishing 9/20/2009

[Ray]

We hit Jsmokes hole and caught 17 Sand Trout, 11 Specks and 1 small Flounder. The biggest Speck was a little over 3 lbs.
My wife was using live shrimp under a cork and I was using a glow Jr. with sparkles in it and a chartruese tail. I lost one pretty decent trout around 4 lbs. when my line hit the trim tab. We both had a dozen or so hits each that we missed. The water temp. was 82 today, up 2 degrees from Thurs. and Fri.
We had a slight NW wind this morning, but by 8:30 am, it died off to hardly nothing. By 9:30 am, the water was like glass and the fish stopped biting.
We came in and cleaned the fish and the boat. My wife said someone short must have designed the cleaning tables at Calcasieu Point.
We saw 6 big Drum right by the cleaning tables. One was almost white and the others were gray. They all looked over 20 lbs.
We are going to fry up the Sand Trout right now with some taters and have a big azzed supper with my parents and sisters.
Be back later tonight.
