When I approached the boat launch at Ken Thompson Park the conditions would have turned many an angler around. A warm cut of coffee, couch, and a fishing show would have seemed like a much better way to spend the morning. Winds to twenty knots and a more than normal low tide seemed to be the makings of an uncomfortable day on the bay. However when your from Montana where the temperature is seventeen degrees it's not so bad, and the Pepe family decided to go for it (see above report). This crew was catch and release, however should they have kept there catch they could have had a nice family dinner. Several mangrove snapper, one sheepshead, one trout, and a pompano would have been plenty for the family. They did release all fish with the exception of the pompano - Jackson gave it to the Captain for dinner. Point is when the going gets tough the tough get going - just because it looks bad don't give up. There was almost no competition for a fishing hole, and using islands for cover we managed to stay fairly warm and still caught fish.
