The good the bad and the fishing!
The good company that arrived trusting in my intel on this new spot!
The bad …my intel on my chosen fishing spot , to much shallow water , not enough channels to concentrate the fish.
The fishing…. well we gathered an elite team of flounder draggers …the journey across the flats was muddy and hard work with wide shallow water we hunted for the channels, but their were none. I also read the currents wrong and the estuary had a ebbing tide running the opposite to what I thought. Then added to that the bottom closer to the channel was filled with net wrecking horse mussels and then I waded the main channel it was was deep and rocky and unfish able.
So the team gathered our gear washed of as much mud a possible and headed for spot #2 , we arrived with fading light, chose a likely looking channel chucked the drag in, the flood charged with a real purpose, Jon and I held on until dark , then heaved the drag out to find one fat flounder in amoungst the tangle.
We wandered up the bank to find a BBQ glowing and steak and bacon being cooked. Into some dry warm cloths and a cold beer in hand we set to yarning , the moon rose and folks wandered their way home.
Huge thanks to all you folks that shared this day with me, thank you for your patience and perseverance!
