Trip Summary
Met Sharon and Bill at the bost ramp at 1:00 in cloudy and cool confitions. Bill had never caught a Bull Red so that was a need to do. We made the run to the jetties, stopping on the inside. We caught a few whiting and a nice black drum. After a couple of hours we went out and around and got set up on the outside. I had Sharon and Bill fishing live shrimp toward the rocks while I threw out a couple of big rods with cut whiting for bait. They caught a few trout toward the rocks and Bill got his Bull Red. We called it a day and as I was securing everything for the ride back the big rod went off again. Sharon got this one, landed it, took a few photos and let it go to swim another day. All in all a great January afternoon on the water.
