On Friday we had three boats. We were greeted with heavy seas and high winds early, but the trout didn't mind one bit. Pulled up to the spot and were done by 8:35. The trout were smaller 1-3.5 lbs, but they were on fire.

I don't know how the weather forecast was so off on Friday. There was not a cloud it the sky and it was supposed to be 1 foot. We had a period when the waves were at least 3 and some bigger. My buddy has a big catamaran we use when it's calling for bigger seas but we decided to use his bay boat with the calm forecast. Hard to drink beer in that crap , but still managed a few.

I was fishing right next to you on Friday. Me and my crew kept wondering how ya'll made it to the spot so early in those bay boats when it was a legit 3-5 footers, with a few 6's mixed in. Nice trip...ya'll definitely had the market cornered that day.
