Yesterday opened with a fantastic sunrise and then proceeded to be a fantastic day on the water.
I was joined by a friend from Laguna Vista, Dale K. We headed North at around 6:30. Water conditions were almost perfect, light winds from the NW. Water was perfect for topwater action.
We ventured to a small bar known by many as the Hump. I have it marked on my GPS as Glenn's Bar. The tides have been exceptionally high and there was probably another foot of water on the bar.
We started at the East end that seems to drop off into some deeper holes quicker.
For some reason there was very little topwater action and so we switched to plastics and were into fish almost immediately. For the next hour we caught trout on almost every cast. Trouble was for every twenty landed, one would be legal. I left Dale and decided to hit the West end. This area had paid off for us in the "Fishing for Hope" tournament.
I changed back to my favorite topwater and connected with a nice 22" on about the third cast. I was soon joined by Dale, who had also grown tired of catching the small schoolies. Together we were able to put together a limit of nice trout.
At around 10, we decided to look for some redfish and ran to the flats just North of Bird Island. There was nothing there and I decided to make a drift in Airport Cove before heading in. Dale connected with an undersized flounder. I changed from my topwater and put on an Excite Bite 6 " bait. I quickly connected with a good keeper flounder, followed by a nice 19" trout which we released.
We headed to PI. I marked this one down as another one of those great days in paradise!
