I fished this morning with Mike, his wife Kent, and their good friends John and Marcia. I picked them up at their home on Perdido Bay at 0800 and, with the cool morning temps and the NNE wind at 15 kts, made a quick dash into Big Lagoon.

The White Trout bite has been good lately, and it was great for us today! From the moment we arrived at our destination, until we left, our rods were bent. We were using a 1/4 oz grub head with any number of baits attached, mostly GULP!s and D.O.A. tails.

Along with the White Trout, we caught a couple of Small Blue Fish,and Kent caught 4 or 5 baby Barracuda! We kept having big Bluefish, 5-7lbs, biting our fish in half. No matter what we tried we could not get them to eat any bait all the way to the hook. One bite on the back half of a bait and that was it.

During the course of an hour and a half we probably caught between 75 and 100 White Trout, 12 ended up in the cooler. Everyone caught plenty of fish and a good time was had by all. Finally someone mentioned home and grilled trout for lunch. Mike said, with a big grin on his face, "Just one more and we'll go."

I took them home, cleaned their fish and they had the grill fired up by 1215. What an awesome morning!

Thanks again to Mike, Kent, John and Marcia for today. I hope to see you soon.
