3/19/06 Left the dock around 7:00am this morning with Paul Graham onboard for a 6hr trip looking for trout and reds. We found a school of trout with good numbers but on the small side. We worked them for several hours to land about 50 speckled trout and 3 grey trout. We released most and kept a handful... then the tide got right so it was off to find some red drum. We found 3 or 4schools of reds with 500 to 1000 reds in each school... first school was mostly 18in pups... caught a few then moved on and found a big school of 24 to 27in. reds and wore them out for several hours... It was BEAUTIFUL and slick with a light northerly breeze.... water clarity awsome... able to see fish from 30 or more yards away. Capt.
