Fishing Trip - August 26, 2006

Took a couple of friends from Cary out fishing Saturday. We fished the sound and marsh creeks near Rich's Inlet and Figure Eight bridge. The bite was rather slow but we did hook-up on 3 flounder but only boated one of them and boated a nice gray trout. Also caught a small cobia.

Tired out a conventional casting reel, my first time using one for anything other than trolling. It will take some practice but I was getting the hang of it. This one was a right-hand model and was borrowed. I will definetely buy a left-hand model. Even though I'm right handed, I am use to retreiving with my left hand plus that way I don't have to switch the rod to the other hand after casting.
