Hiya!,

For Marcus, I caught a 48" dink trout and a 90# rat red, but that was yesterday! HA!

Now to the real report...

Ok, ventured out this afternoon for a few hours and headed to Packerey. I slirpped up some ghost shrimp and walked out the jetty. Not much of a crowd, but I noticed some people catching sheephead, but most were undersize to barely keepers.

I set up two rods with fishbite/shrimp combo. I managed a couple of eating size whiting and some hardheads. I rigged up a lighter rod with a small hook and split shot to try to get a few sheepies. First fish caught on ghost shrimp, an Atlantic stingray. Next bait out was a 16" sheephead. After that, a few grunts and a very fat 14" speckled trout.

Brought home the whiting and sheepy for fish stew. Water was 55F and the fishing is slow. Clarity was not all that great, but at least it was green.
