WADING WITH CROAKER


 6-21-2013--Left the boat ramp just after daylight with three of the four originally scheduled wade fishermen.     I had planned to wade a special spot that gets lots of traffic so I was disappointed that the group got held up at breakfast and were late arriving.  I decided to rush out to our spot and then rig their rods out in the water.      We made it to the spot in time to claim it but it turned out not to be as good as I expected.  We caught one red and four or five trout on that first wade in an inside lake.  There were many bites but the fish just picked the croaker up and moved it.  We moved back to the boat on an outside windward beach and found trout more willing to bite.  There one angler also caught a 28" red.  This day was practice fishing for a tournament on Saturday.  The tournament weigh in stringer called for 5 trout, 2 reds up to 28 inches and one black drum.  We ended the day with 13 trout, two reds and one black drum about 7 pounds.
