1/23 and 1/24

Headed out to west bay with my dad around noon. We had a pretty slow day. Couldn't find much bait anywhere. After awhile we found some mullet up tight to the shoreline. My dad caught a nice trout that was 24.5" and I picked up a flounder and had a few fish pull off. On one of my first cast I missed a good blowup and thought I was going to pick up a few up on topwaters but that was my only one. Sure was a grind.

Today was a different story. Woke up and the winds were west, around 10-15 so I headed out to a spot around confederates. Picked up one small trout and then around 9 all hell broke loose with that wind. On the way back I came across some of the roughest water I've seen in West bay. Our little bluewave can handle some chop but today I got soaked lol.

Here's my dads trout and the flounder I caught. I used sneekypetes trick of stabbing the flounder with your stringer spike. Worked like a charm.

Always look at the weather forecast before you go.

We fish together all the time but sometimes I feel like I take it for granted not realizing how special those days really are. Hes moving to Zapata next month to retire on Lake Falcon to live the good life. Im gona miss him! This buds for you
