Landwhale and I launched at about 6:30 to a cold south wind and cloudy skies. Water was 62º and pretty clear. The wind stayed up pretty much the whole time and it would switch directions on a regular basis. Made for some funky ass drifts. We headed straight to the island and our usual spot.

It took probably an hour to get my 1st fish. It was a chunky legal spottie. After that it was just a very slow pick. Finished the day w/3 legals and 6 shorts. Hot (relatively speaking) bait today was a 4" Houdini Paddlerz on a 3/8 orange Slayer Head. Second best was a 3" FLurry in Minnow Magic on a 3/8 Slayer Head in silver.

Over all it was very slow, I only missed 3 fish. Plus the barges were an issue, not the usual 1 or 2 staying for 20min. But, 3 that stayed for at least an hour each time. We were back in by about 11:15.

Thanks Steve for a fun time as always.
