“The morning started out slow because it was quite foggy and I opted to stay close to the launch until the fog burned off. At about 8:00 am I felt comfortable to run”
That’s smart.
“I continued fishing along these flats and landed 6 reds the largest being 17” and the smallest 14”.”
Not bad at all. Yeah, I would mark that up as a win because that means you found a pattern. There’s something more there. You’re warm.
“I also picked up 6 trout 2 12” fish and 4 between 13” and 14””
Were you throwing a popping cork? I would definitely drift that are with a popping cork. That shallower stuff you were fishing sounds good.
“I’m guessing there were better areas to fish out there but I was really having a ball. I’m still learning so I was content with my results.”
I would say that you did great. You can build off that to achieve more, better results.
Great report, thanks for posting it!
