tried it again today, tide was off, had to fish the last half of incoming and the first half of outgoing. I've never been able to do much at high tide. Caught one undersized trout, went boat riding for the most part. Put in up on the river at Bushy Park, rode all the way to Ft. Sumter, went up the Wando to fihin hole #2(thats where I caught the trout), ended up back at SeaBreeze, went back up the Cooper, took a look at Lee's submarine still sitting there. Fished the Amaco dock, then thought I'd ride up to the fresh water entry to Bushy Park, half way there, I'd decided it was getting late and I turned it around and went back to the ramp. Didn't catch much, but had a heck of a day

Days like that are good for the soul.

I had a similar morning of boat riding with little to no bite in Tampa Bay this past Sat. Left the house at 3:00 with no wind whatsoever, Made it to the middle of the bay by 6:30 and was greeted with more than a light chop. Ditched the plan to go offshore and struck out on Grouper/Goliath inside the bay. I did have one break-off on 100 lb braid fishing with whole mullet on the bottom. Anybody's guess??? Moved after a time and anchored up near a pod of fishing boats in a channel. Fishing a strong outgoing current, with heavy confused chop. Got tired of getting beat up and my back started bothering me so I put in early, home by noon. Never saw the sun and never saw a fish landed or hooked by the other boats. Shoulda brought some light spinning reels, a guy landed a slot red from the bank as I was hauling the boat out. Offshore keeps illuding me due to the weather. Boat handled great. Nothing broke.. Beautiful trip.
