In spite of the heat and wind and tide forecast, Sweetie (my Wife) and me made a trip. Water and wind was a bit too choppy for her on the south end so we ended up back in the ship channel south of Joe's cove. Hit a spot near some working bait and it was on. Ended up with two limits of reds, 4 specs and 3 small flatties. All reds caught on live shrimp. After double counting the reds, caught a few spec on a glow/chartreuse double shad rig tipped with a few last shrimp (just fooling around). Just throwing about 15' behind the boat - 3 specs on 4 casts. Ran out of shrimp and no more bite. Water was green, wind was nice all morning keeping things cool until about 9:30 and then it started howling. Got off the water around 10:30. The wife enjoyed it and we just finished the flounder along with blackened trout (using Butter flavored Pam at Ray's suggestion).
