Kelly and I met up at the Rally at 6:00am and were launched at Mullet Key at Ft. Desoto by 7:00am. For the first time in months, the weather was epic. The wind was around 5mph at the start, and fell to a light breeze by the time we got off the water.
Though the weather cooperated, the fish didn't.
Kelly and I both picked up a a trout on topwater on our first casts, then I followed up with another trout on my second cast, a 26" gator trout that was my biggest of all time. But the sun came up a few minutes later, and with it, the bite died.
I finished with five trout and five ladyfish on the day, and Kelly didn't manage much better. I packed it in at 11:30am, but Kelly fished on at Bunce's Pass for a couple of hours and caught a nice redfish on a gold spoon just before quitting time.
