Fishing trip - Sept 9, 2006

Inshore fishing has been good this week, offshore is a different story.

I went out early this morning and pulled pogies for some kings...nada. It was pretty bumpy and windy but decided to anchor eup and bottom fish for a while. Caught some nice black sea bass and some grunts, after about 2 hours being anchored up with 4-5 foot swells I headed inshore. Caught a three nice speckeled trout, all around 15-16 inches. Also caught a bucket full of shrimp! The creeks are full of white shrimp, some really ncie size ones too.

Reports I received from others: King fishing was dead just about everywhere today. A few blues and sharks were caught. Big Drum are pounding the surf and shoals. If you've never done this, you ought to try it! Nothing like catching a 35" fight-like-the-dickens Red Drum on surf tackle! Plenty of flounder being reported, a few spots and croakers in the waterway and channels. There are some nice Pompano being caught in the surf too.

Grab a rod and go fishing!
