Stan Simmerman took me trout fishing this morning “in his back yard”. Threw topwater baits all morning. Floating grass was a pain but that topwater bite is addicting. My first explosion was a nice puppy drum that pulled off after a good fight. That made my morning right there. The next drum, I managed to land. Stan caught a speckled trout and I caught a fat 24-inch trout that crushed the topwater. We caught some bluefish and had a number of bites we did not catch. The most fun was a big speck that hit Stan’s bait four times before getting hooked. That fish pulled off after getting down in the thick eel grass.<\/p>\n
