When I woke up the sky looked promising. A storm had just passed over the bay moving up towards Bay City. According to the radar, nothing else was in the gulf that could move up towards the East end of the bay. I launched from the Caney Creek area and paddled down Mitchells cut towards the bay. I noticed some activity along the East side of the cut that appeared to be flounder. I should have stopped and got an hour of fishing in there but I wanted to head into the bay. I actually had to anchor in the cut as a small storm that had passed over seemed to back build. Lightning and rain continued but I figured it would pass through like the others had. I paddled all the way into the bay and things did not get any better. I was looking forward to finally being able to fish the Brown Cedar Flats area but mother nature had other plans. We currently have a hate-hate relationship as this is a common occurrence on my fishing adventures. Pulled out the phone to check the radar and the larger storm around Bay City was pulling moisture from the gulf overtaking my position. I made the long paddle back to the cut against the tide and seaweed. Only had time to fish Mitchells cut for a few minutes before making the call to head in. No fish is worth being struck by lightning.
