Wife & I got to go alone, which is rare. Put in around high tide. At our first spot a crab boat pulls up at a creek mouth across from us & pulls 2 pots, empties, re-baits & runs up the creek. Immediately 8 or so dolphin start blowing up around the crab traps. Then my rod goes down & I get a short trout. When I toss it back 2 dolphins swirl next to the boat & I assume the trout didn’t make it out alive. While the other dolphin follow the crab boat up the creek those 2 follow us around. That kind of ended our fishing so we just scoped out some new spots & enjoyed watching what we assume were otters playing on the bank.

The wife, kids & I put in at low tide. We have no luck at any usual places fishing zman but I had brought some shrimp so we decide to hit some spots for sheepshead. I have only tried fishing for them once & had no luck but we saw some people catching them the previous trip & the wife wanted to give them a try. I tied on some jig heads & bumper rigs and we hit some docks we found on the previous trip. 1st spot no luck, 2nd spot had 2 boats already fishing it, 3rd was the charm. When we pulled up dolphins are blowing up the bank down from us, I guess pushing bait up on the bank but we never could tell what they were actually eating. After 5 minutes or so wife caught a 10" black drum then a 10 minute or so pause. Then the Reds turned on. Wife & kids caught 7 Reds from 14" to 17" while I just caught a hard time. My son’s like daddy when I catch another one you can reel it in hahaha… we kept 3 and called it a day.
Kerry pulled up near us but I wasn’t sure that it was him until he left & I looked back at a video of his boat. Kerry it was nice texting with you after the fact.
I will attempt to post some pics later.
