Fished the land cut/9-mile hole on Thursday. Fished the west side of the cut with plastics and gulp/popping cork but no luck. Nice breeze out of the N/NE made it easy to drift the west bank. Saw tons of bait on the flat adjacent to the west side and with the high tides figured we'd give it a shot. Saw a few tailing drum but unable to get a take on gulps. Even got out of the boat and waded, still no luck. Went into 9-mi just south of the airplane and made several drifts toward the west shoreline. By this time the wind had turned more E-NE. Picked up a red on the first drift and saw quite a bit of bait/mullet within about 1oo yds of the windward shoreline. Thought maybe we were on 'em, but only picked up one more slot red after 3 drifts - all on weedless gold spoons. Headed back to the ditch for another try, thinking there would be more more tidal movement, but it appeared slack, and wind was straight out of the E at this point. Not sure how to post pics... but two lower slot reds don't seem worthy of posting. If anyone has any other reports from down south, I'd appreciate the info. It's a long haul for two reds! Oh, and water clarity in/around Baffin was poor. Would expect that after a front, but I hear that's been the norm all winter. Haven't fished down south since last fall, so not sure what's going on. Oh, I think I figured out the photo download. Let's see if this comes out.
