I didn’t think I would make it out today; after watching the barometer and predicting it would crest/fall slightly in combination the warm sun I convinved my wife and son to give it a go. Fished from 12:30 to 2:30. Wind wasn’t all that bad. Bait was a little harder to get with the tide running 1-2 feet above normal. Got almost 2 dozen shrimp and some 3-4" spot. Got to the first spot and immediately noticed a float with a fish under it. It didn’t want to eat so I snagged it with a DOA and boated and 25" red and a Cajun Thunder rattle float. Tide started coming in without any bites so we moved about 100 yards and started getting bites around 1:45 just as the sky started to get some clouds. Total of 9 reds for the day averaging 22-24 inches with a couple tournament winners. They prefered the bait under a float, but the last fish came on a glow/pink DOA because we ran out of bait.
