Better late than never. Since the surf was blown out I decided to stick with what I know and bay fish. Got to fish after work Friday on a submerged spoil near humble flats and caught a decent limit of trout. Just enough for a fish fry for my Dad on Father's Day. I was throwing a cocahoe minnow and I usually don't work it too fast to keep the skippies at bay but the trout wouldn't take it any other way. Fast and erratic produced that day. I must have caught at least 15 keeper trout and three reds right at the 20 mark on my rod but too close to call. So they were released.

| Good catch! Looks like a flyfishing landing net there. |

Thanks Zia, my buddy made that net for me and its the same concept as a flyfishing net but much larger scale for saltwater. He does awesome work and the nets he makes are works of art. They are a little longer than the normal wading nets and glide through the water when netting fish. The longer handle gives you a further reach and makes it netting fish a little easier. I must say I wish I would have got one earlier.
And you can never go wrong with cocahoes Tyler! Especially for the price. I first bought some for $1.49 when funds were tight and we were on Furlough. Caught so many fish on them I never looked back!
