This is my post for #freewriters Monday prompt glare hosted by @mariannewest
I have been fishing to the north and every afternoon the wind has been blowing 20 to 25 out of the southeast. This has made for a very rough ride back to the ramp.
For that reason, today I was looking forward to fishing south so on the run back, I would be going with the wind. Guess what happened? It did not blow any harder than 10 knots all day.
You are looking at a fish mud in the top picture, silver mullet make huge muds this time of year. I am not sure why they do this but my guess is they are feeding on something on the bottom.
Today I went in Preachers Hole. I have been waiting for the water to come up so I could fish it. Years ago, the first time I went in there I caught 99 pounds of trout, today I never got a bite.
From Preachers Hole I went to Pauls Island. I was disappointed when I got there and found the State people sitting on top of where I wanted to fish. They are some sort of fish biologist who has about 800 yards of seine net they run in a circle and pull down by hand. When they get a small circle they bail all of the little fish into buckets and count them, They are all thrown back dead.
I fished a different area behind Pauls Island and caught 9 trout. Next, I ran to Black Point.
And guess who was there? The State people that's who were there. They are pulling their net down. I can't fish here either. I went to Melva's Island and caught 2 trout. I ended up with 22 pounds of trout and 10 pounds of jacks.
I tried to take a close-up picture of them but the glare was bad.
