Surfin' for Specks 8/26/2010

[Ray]

Hit the beach in Johnson Bayou today with Gerald again.
We managed to squeak out 17 Trout and 2 Reds. The winds
were calm out of the NE and 1 to 2 ft. ground swells from
the SE. That made for an interesting day. The winds picked
up around 9 am and started turning out the East. Muddied
up the water and shut down the fish. We caught the same
as yesterday, but the times were a lot longer between
strikes. We climbed up on the rocks and threw soft plastics
on the Gulf side of the rocks. I lost almost a dozen or so
Specks cause I didn't have a net. If you climb on the rocks,
bring a net. There was a couple around 2 lbs. and Gerald's
biggest was 3.5 lbs.
We saw a buttload of guide boats heading West of us. They
must be catching pretty good to the West of Little Fla.
They were constantly passing West bound. Bet the cell phones
were ringing today.
