Friday the 27th was a total blowout! ....southeast winds howling at 20 m.p.h., cloudy skies, passing squalls, and chilly water.
No tarpon, ladyfish, bonefish, or pompano, so friend Don Eichin and I decided to slide up on the grassflats in the hopes of nabbing a seatrout. This was indeed a good decision, but hardly worth any self-congratulations, since the rest of the fishery was in a word, stinko!
We immediately started hooking up trout on singles and doubles on free-lined live shrimp and shrimp tails on a Hook-Up head.
After we released about 20 trout, we grew tired of this and tried for bonefish. In these conditions, we got no bones. But the day was a success, thanks to the springtime appearance of Mr. Spotsides and of course, a mojarra!

Even though you bot blown out you still managed some nice fish. Better than a zero.
