Fourth of July…250th Celebration…Countdo

Flounder catching is here, finally! Water is gorgeous clear…we saw down 8’. The bite was strong from just after dead low to high. And you couldn’t beat the smiles, competition and rod bending. How long will it last? I don’t know, but it is lots of fun!

I took out an excellent crew, today. We watched the weather closely just in case the wind blew too hard. As it turned out, predictions were higher than reality, and we had an outstanding trip. Aside from catching a lot, a 23” fish was boarded. Water was 68 degrees, Greenhead flies were not too bad and temps were in high 70’s since we fished close to ocean.

We departed under clouds, 75 degrees and 10mph north wind. Water was very clear. We fished an old spot I hadn’t fished much this year. Within five minutes we were getting hits and then it was catching. One fish measured 17”, but we were C&R today, anyway. This super group was soaking up my fishing tips, asking lots of questions and chilling to Michael Jackson. Everbody caught, today. You can’t ask for a better first time out…I had to caution them, though. Not every fishing trip is a 10 outta 10. ????
