Well the red tide seems to have pasted us by. The stuff never made it into the bay at least not up where we fish. It did kill some fish in the surf.

Our fishing has been good though with limits of reds the norm and some limits of trout. For the most part the trout have been far and few between. Most of the trout we have been catching have come on top waters, Skitterwalks in Pearl.

Last Monday we caught a limit of trout on topwaters with Gary and Keven but for the most part it's been slow for trout.

I did manage to catch this nice 30″ trout and released her
