Oh today would also mark the start of rain. Which we launched into.
Though the rain didn't last too long.
Though it was always threatening to unleash on us all day.
Since we had higher tides (though, thankfully not as high as last year's trip), we paddled farther up Island Moorings Channel to fish a flat you generally can't. We were greeted with a couple big black drum tailing and 100's of cow nose stingrays. Early on I landed my only keeper of the day, a trout.
Not much to write about this day as the wind really kicked our butts. We were off the water around 1 pm. The group's stringer count was 2 reds and 4 trout. It was a windy grind for today. (1 red/1 trout for Ron, 2 trout for Andy, 1 red for Nina, and 1 trout for myself)
It's not all play on these trips. Sometimes work has to get completed, like breaking down and cleaning reels.
Dinner tonight was at Moondog's. Sadly, their draft system was down, so no big draft beers for the group.
So with that, plus a tough day on the water we broke out some more bottles that evening.
I'll edit in the meteorological data later, but here's the GPS track for the day.
