4 reds and 5 trout.

Got my first trout free lining a DOA shrimp. Way too boring for me. This is more like winter fishing. I do, now believe you can catch a fish like this. Fair disclosure…I did put a rattle in the DOA and juiced it up with Procure…I couldn’t help it.

Better action came for a mirrodine. Caught big reds at creek mouths. Looks like they are zoned in on mullet and not shrimp right now. Tons of mullet leaving creeks.

Missed a red on a flat with a spoon. Tried lots of stuff today and knocked some catches off the bucket list (DOA freeline, Spoon,zmann paddle tail)

On the way back my motor sounded funny and would shut off if I idled it…guessing a spark-plug? Funny thing is it would run at full speed.

Nice report. Thanks.that’s my favorite kind of fishing, just figuring things out

that or dirty carbs (or both) would be my guess.

If it’s a Yammy, could be the low pressure fuel pump. Those are the exact symptoms.
