I played hooky yesterday to work on my brothers boat so I could get back my garage.
Of course a few hrs in the water wouldn’t deter me from accomplishing that task.
I made a late decision to go, so the flat was already wet and waiting.
I saw one tail right away. It was to be all the tail I’d get.
First cast was perfect. If I was trying to knock out the fish. Spooked it.
No problem. I let my bait sit for 30sec or so. Reel in. Tail’s up again.
This cast I had more open water to cast long and bring the bait to the red.
BOOM! Whirlpool and fish on.
This guy put up a good fight. 32" my biggest yet.
This was it for me, I was in a new area, so anything meant it was a good day.
I also grabbed a dink trout on my way in. Again, new spot. It was off a point I thought would hold fish on the outgoing. I had a couple hits on that spot.
I called the day after 2 1/2 hrs. Got back and finished the bro’s boat. I water tested it late in the afternoon. The 14" AshCraft with a camo motor doing donuts off sol legare was me.
