What a glorious sunrise! I woke up at 6 a.m. to be treated to this. After GG woke up and we had a light breakfast, I packed the cooler with some lunch and drinks and we headed out for our first full day on the water. The weather was awesome. It was breezy because of front moving in so we didn't even break a sweat all day! I know that sounds crazy in November...but it's been as hot as if it were May. We worked four different spots. The first one just drove us nuts! The fish were hitting all OVER the place...I'm mean really BIG fish were hitting. They just weren't hitting what we had :( Second stop...no hits. Third stop by the oyster bars.......snook were tearing up the bait...but no hits..no wait, GG did get a freaking Cat. We headed up the power lines and off to an island to the SW. Now I could feel this place. Beautifully clear water, mixture of grass and sandy patches. This spot held it all.....grunt, pin fish, yellow tail jack and GG caught two beautiful trout. They would have been dinner if the season wasn't closed....dammit! One of the trout was so big, it actually attempted to eat GG's pin fish! Amazing! And we were treated once again with a dolphin pod siting. This time there was no playing. They meant business as the swam along the shore feeding on the plentiful fish in the area. All in all, it was a wonderful birthday :) We came back to the house, unloaded and jumped in the pool for a cool, relaxing swim. Then GG sweetly cooked up a delicious steak dinner to celebrate.
