11/14/05 Put the boat in the water at 4:00pm this afternoon to help capt. Mike Taylor transport a load of live shrimp he caught today... got finished at 5:30 (dusk) and decided to take advantage of the pretty evening with the near full moon in the sky, no wind, warm weather, and rising tide. Pulled up to a favorite hole with a black mirrolure on one rod and a black back top dog on the other.... set the autopilot to hold me in a location within casting dist. of where the trout lay and on first cast put a 2+lb trout in the boat... it was on from about 6pm till 7pm when the tide slowed... wound up landing two trout 3.5 and 4lbs on the topdog, missed several others, and lost the topdog to a bigboy that crushed it... landed 6 from 1.5 to 3lbs on the black mirrolure and missed several others that pulled off. Back at the dock at 7:30 and extremely happy with the evening bite! Expect the same bite to occur Tuesday before the nasty weather gets here.... go give it a try... it's so much fun!
