2 specks and a dozen hard heads on live shrimp under cork yesterday evening

7 nice specks this morning on topwater. They were blowing it up. I missed way more than I caught.

Also caught a shite ton of white trout under the lights last night

Bump for this week/weekend, anyone have any word?

What do you guys suggest this weekend? Looks like good tide movement Saturday and Sunday, but 10+mph EAST wind, thats not good right?

ETA sorry I suck at reading

The water has been beautiful out toward the west. From what i have been hearing is the trout bite lasts for about an hour right at sun up and then pretty much shuts down after that. I have been on some nice fish,but I ain't putting all my secrets up here. If your'e going to be down send me an email.

I'm on my way to the island now, going to put my crab traps out when I get there and I'll ride down to Elmers to see how soft the sand is or if any more fords end up in the surf.

Thoughts on east wind down there? We went two weeks ago and everyone was cursing the west wind

looks like a S/SE wind starts on Thursday so it should clean up the water a little bit before the weekend. Unfortunately, the wind is projected 10-15 right now which may make it a little bit choppy, but we'll see.

I think we will probably give a shot either way since last time we came up with nothing.

Gulf side eight now is smooth as glass. Set out my crab traps then came ride to Elmers. It looks like there's been some rain recently but the sand is still soft. There's a set of packed ruts and 2wd should be ok as long as the sand doesn't dry out much. Don't wonder out of the ruts and you'll be fine.

Already had to pull one out.

I don't have a shackle. So I looped a big racket strap and threw the slack in the trunk. Didn't even offer up a thank you or anything for my good people deed.

Ha, I was going to bet that you didn't even make a buck off of that one... Should have pulled it all the way to Fouchon.

But then again, I don't know that I would offer up money either. Who brings cash to GI? Maybe a beer.
