Trout bite is awesome. Water temp in low low 80s. Alot of wind so we have to be selective on fishing area but the Trout are scattered around but still hungry. Finally have a good summer tide. As this wind lays over the next few days we should more areas to fish.

    We had a great time and caught what we were after, red fish. Even got two keepers! David is a good captain because he didn’t waste time in spots he knew would not get any fish. Kept us on the move and eventually to the spots the fish were at.
