Winter Excursion 8, Day 29

I was up with the sunrise and ready for some fishing with my friend Tony. We left the boat ramp at 0715 in a super high tide. We were greeted by this sunrise!

The boat ride out to Bulls Bay was a cold one as temps were in the low 30s. The wind had been forecast to be light, but it was anything but. We fought the wind all morning.

I got this pic of the lone Palmetto Tree on Bull Island.

I got lucky and caught the first fish, a barely legal sea trout. That would be the last legal sea trout of the day.

I also got lucky and caught the only red fish of the day.

We fished all over the area and had no luck. All in all we caught 5 fish of which only 2 were legal.

After eight hours on the water we went back to camp.

Another group of fisherman at camp had gone out around noon for just two hours and caught over 30 fish (ten legals)!

Even thought we had a bad fishing day we had a good time and the conversation and story swapping with Tony was fun. Except for the wind the weather was perfect, but maybe a little chilly.
