10/11 - ICW

I haven’t been out since before the storm, so was excited to get out for a few hours this am on a rising tide.

Had 4 trout, a small redfish, a black drum and a mullet. Was getting a lot if bites on live shrimp under a cork, but I think they were small mullet as I kept missing bites. Switched to artificial shrimp and had the redfish, trout on plastic minnow.

Two firsts today - Osprey dived on the trout in the pic but thankfully either dropped it or missed it, and i saw a huge blue crab ‘swimming’ just below the surface with a big fish in its claws.
Love just getting out there, almost dosnt matter about catching anything…almost:)
