Been over 2 months since my last time on the water and decided to get out yesterday for a while. Launched at 8:30 with the tide still very high but starting to fall and ran south to the marsh hoping to find some faster moving water which I did but it did not seem to help. First bite was a small speckled trout, hour later a legal redfish and short bass on back to back cast then nothing for another hour. Ran north to the trees and stopped at the mouth of a small ditch that goes into a small lake and had water coming out. After about 15 minutes I'd caught 5 small bass and 1 legal plus missing several more on UV speed worms. went a couple miles further up river and went into a bayou with 15-20' of water and only a few bites. Stopped at the ditch I'd fished earlier and caught 2 more with 1 keeper. Headed back to Bluff Creek thinking that the tide would right to catch a few more but it was not to be. Put the Xpress back on the trailer at 3:30 and headed home. Sunny skies, air temps 75-92, water temps 81-83 and visibility was maybe 2' which was surprising considering we have had only 6" of rain in the last 2 months so water should have been much clearer. Despite not catching a lot it was good to be out and can't wait for some cooler weather.
Glad you were able to get out on the water. Tks for sharing the trip with us.
