Tide: low to High
Water Temp: 88 deg.
Got the little tin boat out, the Nan, to go for a cruise and try and catch a fish on the new, old penn 650 ss I purchased recently.
We started out at the oyster bars at the OR mouth.
I finally hooked up with two reds, but both came unbuttoned before getting to the boat. They were on the last bar on the incoming tide. I couldn't turn one of them, so I think he was a good'un.
We hit the flat between the sticks and caught some pinneys to go try and catch a tarpon or a shark down at Mud Cove.
We headed down there about 9:30.
No bait was balled up, so we continued all the way down to the jetties at the tip of Alligator Point. All we got for the travel was two ladyfish and a good sweat.
We came back up to Mud Cove and decided just to drift in the incoming tide with what live pinfish we had left.
We saw some nice tarpon still in the area, but it looked like the bait was working more offshore by the looks of the pelican activity.
I didn't want to got out there due to the rougher conditions than my back can handle in the flat bottom tin boat.
Finally, I hooked up on a sail cat to break in my new, old reel and rod.
I took liberty to stylize the picture, because you can't make a catfish look pretty.
We headed to the hill after this one. It's amazing how well your boat runs after you figure out your gas filter was a couple of turns loose.
