Well the wind has been howling from the east for many, many days.
I watched folks catching sand trout in Panacea harbor last weekend. Nancy and I tried it Monday. But only caught one trout and one whiting.
I braved the east wind Wednesday and finally got on some trout in Ullmore cove. First catch of the day was a sailcat. Next was a nice flounder that spit the bit at boat side. Then I figured out a stretch of the cove that produced 15+ trout before the high tide ebbed.
Had to go and fish the tourist rig with a new penny gulp for the best action and to keep out of the weeds.
We are hunkering down now for an approaching tropical storm. It looks like after this blow the weather will improve substantially and the fall bite will really crank up.
Just to give you an idea this is a picture of what the weather has been like.
It was photographed at St. George Island last week.
