Unlike yesterday where a mentally-challenged monkey (I should know) could limit out where I was in the surf, today was a struggle. The water this morning had stained to the normal sandy red snot that it usually is, but I couldn't tell since I waded in before daylight. No birds working, no seagulls and few fish. Had to bring the pogo stick and bounce up and down from the waves (5 MPH my arse) all morning, and when I saw the water after daylight, I knew the lucky monkey was dead. Did manage to scratch out 6 small trout (16-18") but had to wade a mile up and down the beach to find them.. if it wasn't for a fleeing mullet here and there to give away their location, I would probably got skunked (again). Can't complain too much, met some really nice guys by our cars and we plan to meet up again when conditions improve. Looks like a wind shift to the south for the next few days and I have no luck EVER in a due south wind, so it looks like I'll be stuck in the trees for a while.
