I had 3 peelers from last weekend still in the fridge that needed to go away. I got to the flats at first light. Good thing because I was just able to see that gill net in 1.5 foot of water. There was absolutely no wind. I got set up and started baiting the hook. Peeler did not smell too bad. I was swarmed by mosquitoes. Every Poquoson mosquito was there. I was wearing shorts, t-shirt, and sandals&#8230;not good. I made a cast and tried to work the popping cork while smacking myself with my hat. The mosquitoes were then joined by a swarm of gnats. No bug spray in the boat, not a good start to my day. I decided I was not doing this and &#8220;bugged&#8221; out after the one cast. I was back at the dock before sunrise. I had raingear in the boat. I should have put that on but I did not think of that until I was back home.<\/p>\n<p>On the way home from work, I stopped at Grafton and bought chum, eels, and 3 peeler crabs. After dinner, I ran back out to the flats. It was better this evening. I still got bit by mosquitoes but the drum were biting. Mullet were everywhere.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/P8210032.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5447\" src=\"https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/P8210032-670x1024.jpg\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"640\" height=\"978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/P8210032-670x1024.jpg 670w, https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/P8210032-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/healthygrinsportfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/P8210032.jpg 1893w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got up early this morning.
