After being beat up by big red drum and a sporty ride in yesterday, I’d planned to take today off. Got a message from: Stan Simmerman<\/span>, thinking about trout fishing, interested? Yep. The morning started with a topwater explosion and a fun fight until the end when the trout refused the net. That was the only topwater bite we had. The rest of the morning, Stan made me catch all of the trout as he wanted more net practice after that first fish (my story, I can tell it as I want to. I did mention maybe if I had a younger net man…) The bite was not hot, but I did manage to catch 4 speckled trout including a couple of nice ones. Stan caught a striped bass, a flounder, and a croaker.<\/p>\n
