Sea Trout

Highlight of the day. Couple of bulls to tug on. Jeff,Haley and Matthew worked very hard in the cold. Unfortunately so much water was blown out of the bay yesterday. Couldn’t find where they were hiding. Haley started the morning with a perfect trout just under 20” followed by Jeff with a 19.5” trout. Then the ships started rolling by and muddied the water. Couple nice drum in the box but slim pickings today.
