Great day on the water...

Headed out this lovely morning with Michelle for a fishing celebration of our nation’s birthday…and in fact, Michelle said the 4th was ‘her day’. And indeed it was, as she absolutely put on a clinic. We had planned to head offshore, but with the water green and flooding the shell & grass, we decided to Trout fish for a bit. With no luck on the Bombers, I switched to a plastic shrimp and Michelle opted for a weedless fluke, Houdini flavor. Five nice trout by Michelle, and nothing for me, I mumbled it was time to head to the nearest shore wreck. It took weeding through a bazillion Sea Bass to get our limit, but we got there. Somehow Michelle got about 9 of the 10 keepers. Had a Cobia swim up to the boat, and we dropped a jig to him, which he ate immediately and swam directly under the boat before spitting the jig. All in all, a wonderful day, topped off by Michelle’s fresh steamed shrimp , pan seared Sea Bass and Rice Pilaf. I’ll be throwing the fluke next time…
