got to Quintana b4 1st light. When we got out of the canal, we were hit with whitecaps and "twofers" (at least) with a strong West wind. Only place we could find out of the wind was thru Shark Bayou and into Weeks Bay. Fished the bank from near Mud Point about half way back to Shark Bayou with artificial, under a cork and/or tipped with shrimp. water dirty, NADA! Ran to the small bayou's to the East of the mouth of Shark Bayou, found clean water, caught one keeper red and two throwbacks. Hooked into a nice size shark (never seen a shark back in there before) and broke off. Tried a couple of bayou's off Shark Bayou, clean water, NADA. Ran to the Cove, not as rough as before, but water dirty. Got back to the landing and ran into a couple of LDWF "surveyors" who asked us a lot of questions. They said that even tho we only had one fish, that was more than anyone else had come in with yet. Oh well, that's why they call it fishing.
