Quick update: in two words: "TOUGH CONDITIONS."
SE winds gusting to 35mph each day kept us "inside" the bay and ICW. We did manage about 6 hours on the ocean side, but caught very few. Trolled the beach and half-way out to the rigs . . . zippo.
Caught trout up in the rivers of the bon secour reserve (high winds DID keep the bugs controlled).
The rest of the fishing was . . . feline. LOTS of cats.
I did talk to one neighbor who ran offshore 65 miles one night. They limited on Tuna, wahoo. Sounds like they had a riot.
Reports of reds on the Dixie Bar . . . We caught zero and saw zero action from other boats.
