I fished today from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. It was a beautiful day and the water is trying to clear. Spanish sardines were in abundance and there were a few small flounder, some jacks, and an armful of ladyfish caught. The pelicans, seabirds, and dolphin seemed to be competing to see who could cover the most space and be the most aggravating. I had to deal with two pelicans and a gull that flew into my lines. All of this was happening down the left side so I decided to go to the end where I had seen a guy pull up a couple of trout.
Tying on a sinking Mirrolure, I got a hit and a trout in the 3-4 pound range came to the surface. Then I saw Flipper headed my way. I reeled as fast a possible but he was too fast for me and stole my trout. Another gull flew into one of my lines and popped it.
A lot of fun...just nothing that ended up translating to the frying pan.
Though the chronological Fall does not begin for several weeks, meteorological Fall begins September 1. At home in NC we always see certain fish show up starting that first week in September. Is that the norm around here too?
