Today is\u00a0Meghan Wells<\/span><\/a>\u00a0birthday. She wanted to take the day off of work. My ability to do dentistry is greatly diminished when\u00a0Meghan Wells<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is not there but it increases my chances to go fishing so today, we all took off to celebrate her birthday. I pretended to be retired and joined\u00a0Stan Simmerman<\/span><\/a>, who really is retired. We mostly cast topwaters all day. I don’t know how Meghan’s birthday went for her but\u00a0Stan Simmerman<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and I enjoyed the heck out of it! Our final catch included 7 speckled trout to 22 inches, a gray trout, 5 bluefish, a puppy drum and 6 ribbonfish. Ribbons do hit topwaters. I pulled off a big trout and Stan lost a monster. We had a lot of bites that did not stay tight. I had one that did. Looked and sounded like a big trout bite but that fish was screaming my drag. I told Stan that it had to be a drum. He said no, a really big trout. We never saw it but if it was a trout it would have been a record. My very next cast got blown up twice before hooking up and it did turn out to be a pup. Not as good of a fight as the fish prior but I think I had just pulled off a drum…and not a record trout…but…we caught nice trout there also. I really liked\u00a0Meghan Wells<\/span><\/a>\u00a0birthday. When I’m back in the office tomorrow, I’m going to find out who has the next birthday!<\/span><\/div>\n

Oh, apparently, I now live in a world where fat trout are released and skinny ribbonfish are kept. I can hear my grandfather now, “what is wrong with you boy?”<\/span><\/div>\n

After work yesterday, I ran out to the flats and cast the topwater a bit before getting ready for today’s trip. That resulted in a lot of blow ups, a couple of red drum, a couple specks and a bluefish. I’m liking middle-of-the-week fishing!<\/span><\/div>\n
