Fished with Capt D.P. this morning for a little fun fishing. We Trout fished first thing. Had a few awesome blow-ups, missed a few and pulled the hooks on one really nice fish...oh well, no pressure today! They were short striking, when they'd do more than just follow behind it, but watching those fish follow and push the bait out of the water was enough for us (we eat that stuff up). We made a run across the bay, in the fog, and pulled up to another of our favorite Trout flats. 30-40 casts later without a bite we notice a bunch of commotion in the deeper water.
A school of nice Spanish was tearing up the rain minnows. We must of watched this go on for 2 or 3 minutes, until we just couldn't stand it anymore and changed or attention from the Trout to the Mackerel. Having Spanish chase down a walking dog on top is one of the most exciting things to see. These fish were HOT. It only took me a few casts before my soft plastic bait was torn to shreds. We got a few fish close enough to have to handle them. The Spanish moved on, and so did we.
Ran to the Pass and Sheepshead fished for an hour or so. We went through 2 1/2 dozen baits, released a dozen fish or more Then headed back to the ramp...we both had to get home before sleeping on our couches was our only option.
Thanks again, D.P.
Oh and Timmy, if you read this, you really missed out on this one!
