I met Capt. DP and Jerry (from George's Marine Electronics) at Shoreline Park at 0500 for a morning of Trout fishing. We decided we'd head east and hit some docks near Navarre, nothing but artificials on todays menu.

The catching wasn't red hot, quite a few fish swatted at our baits but wouldn't commit, we pulled the hooks on a couple more. A few fish, however, did find their way into the net; by 0900 we had caught 4 Specks (2 legal fish and 2 shorts), 2 Redfish, and a Flounder.

A small electrical difficulty cost a half hour or so to resolve and we elected to head it back to the ramp; stopping to check a select few more docks on the way. On our last stop: Capt. DP got run into the pilings, I got hung up like 3 or 4 times, Jerry caught a short grouper, and my wife called me and placed a pick up order for lunch. We all had wives to get home to and afternoons full of family time. It was just after 1100 when the boat bumped up to the dock.

Thanks again D.P., for another successful morning, it was a pleasure to fish with you guys.
