12/3 West Side of Sarasota Bay
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2014 8:28 pm
I would like to report that I am very pleased that the Windfinder predictions for the past few days have been wrong. I am also pleased to tell you that you can sleep in, because based on my recent experience nothing is happening out there until the sun is up in the sky. I launched a little before sun up this morning and the wind was out of the east blowing as predicted. Given that I was on the west side of the bay this tends to make it a little bumpy out there. So for the first 2 hours or so I bobbed around and caught almost nothing. Then about 9 am or so the wind just shut off and the sun was warming up the incoming tide very nicely. Over the next two hours I caught about 15 trout. None too small and none too big. They all were in the 15 to 20 inch range. Fun on light tackle and all on my trusty Mirrodine. The extra surprise this morning was this nice little pompano that hit my Mirrodine.
