SSSSLLLLOOOOOWWWWWW

5.27.01
Tide: incoming
Water Temp: 81
Warm and humid morning

Went out this morn trying to get some water time before the Memorial Day weekenders hit the water.

I wanted to go out in front of Piney Island and try to get some reds to eat some topwater.

It sure looked promising as I slid the boat into the water at Rock Landing.

I got plenty of casting practice.  Only had one half hearted boil on the bonkadonk.

The wind started picking up, so I decided to finish in the harbor and try to pull a red from one of the docks inside the harbor.  

I pitched up under on of the cat sailboats and my line moved off.

I set the hook on this nice 18" trout.  That was a surprise.  He was gonna go back in the water, but he inhaled the little jig.  So, into the cooler the fish went for a future dining experience.

I pitched about all the docks in the harbor.

This was the only bite and only fish I caught.  

Now that is what I call slow.

It seemed dead out on the water today.  Maybe it is the quickly rising water temps.
