2-11-2011--Good box of fish on a cold day. Water temperature was in the mid 40's and the air temperature wasn't much more. We started about 11 AM in order to give the water time to warm up some and for the tide to start rising. The water was too low for any redfish to be in the flats so we anchored in the "sail boat channel" and never moved. My four fishermen took 12 reds and 6 black drum in less than 3 hours of fishing with dead shrimp and mullet.
After that the water had risen some and warmed a little so we tried drifting for trout in the flats. After 4 short drifts we gave that up without getting a single bite.
Yesterday, the north wind was blowing about 25 MPH and it was really cold. Much too cold to take customers so I took a friend and went so I could maybe locate some fish for today. Drove by Cove Harbor and there were no boat trialers in the parking lot and at Conn Brown Harbor where I launched there was only one boat trailer. We both agreed that it was the most miserable day we had ever fished due to the cold. We caught one keeper black drum, 3 undersized reds and had one large black drum on right up to the boat before it tore loose. We tried several places but the only bites we got were at the same location where we limited on redfish today. So I guess it was worthwhile to locate fish for today.
