Took a few weeks off from fishing and enjoyed sleeping in on the weekends. The fall flounder run is one of my favorite times of the year so I had to get back on the water. Winds were from the E-NE Saturday morning with overcast conditions. We went into a cut and fished the North shoreline to start off. Managed to catch 4 keeper trout and 2 flounder there. All were caught on artificial lures one being a chickenboy on 1/4 jighead (the other to go unnamed). When things slowed down, we ran down to the triangle in deeper water. Only put one keeper trout and two sand trout in the ice chest in this area. A lot of smaller trout were caught this day. Used shrimp under cork in the deeper water. Ran up around Bird Island and saw some birds working. We headed that way and cut the engine putting the boat in position to drift over that area. Caught a few small trout but no keepers. Moved to some reefs off of Bird Island but had no luck drifting that area. We headed in around 11 to get something to eat. When we came back out after 1, winds had shifted from the SW and the sun was out (go figure). We hadn't counted on that but anyone who fishes should know not to rely on forecasts. Went back to the area we started off fishing that morning but the tide hadn't start to move out yet. We made some drifts around the Brown Cedar area but only caught small trout (a lot of small trout). Most of the keepers were not caught on video but I had enough footage to make a video report. Looking forward to getting back down and catching some more flatties in a few weeks. Until then, enjoy the video report.
