I got invited to go catch some flounder tomorrow and the wife said it was OK with her, so I am going. There will be no reason to go to Cherry Grove because I am going to catch all the keepers before 12. I just thought I’d let y’all know!
thanks…saves me the trip!
Lookin forward to a report tomorrow evening. Good luck.

Late report from Saturday. We put in at 6:20 and had a lot of shorts and only 1 keeper on the outgoing tide, 4 keepers @ 21.5, 19.5, 16 & 15.5, a slot red and a stingray that my son foul hooked, which popped me in my left foot when I took my eye off of him for a moment. I was fishing 2 rods and had a double go off. It was the 21.5 and the 16. Never had that happen before. We went back over that spot several times but didn’t get another bite. That stingray’s barb hurt reeeeaaaaaalllll bad, so I yanked that barb out of him before I turnded him loose!!! I got my trophy for all that pain!!! Fortunately, my buddy needed to put a new waterpump on his boat, so the water coming out of the pee hole was pretty warm. We put enough in a bucket to cover my foot, and viola, instant releif. Never been hit by a ray before, and I hope I never do again. We left around 11:30 when the bite shut off. All fish caught on mud minnows, and it seemed like the bigger fish wanted the smaller mudders. The bigger fish had small minnows in their stomachs and the red had 2 dollar crabs in his belly. They ate real good yesterday for lunch!
Sounds like you had a good day other than the ray. I fished the waterway and got 8 slot reds all were 18-21 inches 2 small trout 12" and one 19" flounder. I also hooked something very powerful it spun all the line off my reel in about 30 seconds (150 yards) luckily when it got to the end the leader broke so I didn’t loose all my braid. I sure wish I knew what it was.
Wonder if it was a bull red, harryt2t. I’ve had that happen before at the jetties, but it spooled me and the line broke where I tied it on the spool. I hated all that fishing line was free in the water like that, but it wasn’t intentional. Yeah, that ray sucked BIG TIME!!!
I’m not sure gooze I sure wish I did I know with all the redfish action it could of been maye this weekend I’ll get him
Good luck!!!
