Man, I was excited. Boat ready , sand fleas in the bucket ,tides right, new 8 LB. flourocarbon on the reels and fresh sharp Nylures. Sunday my wife and I got up to go get the first pomps of the season and what do we hear in the morning but the dreaded wind chimes . Otherwise known as the “stay in bed” chimes . Like the stupid little kid in the Disneyworld commercial , I was ” too excited to sleep”. Since we have a great boat for rough water bay crossings [a Baycat 19 Twin Vee ] we decided to see if we could salvage the morning perfect tides and went for it .Well it was blowing,the water was dirty,and the Coast Guard helicopter was already on a rescue for some weekend warriors with little sense . So of course we decided to try to catch something , and proceeded to go for Sheepshead and Redfish . We anchored outside the jetty on the lee side . Things were slow . And bouncy . But with typical perseverence Anita hooked into a very nice sheepy , and I caught a slightly short, but still fun redfish . We tried the drift in the cut again with another tide change . This was going to be it , I just knew it .The best conditions of the day . Anita again on the big sheepshead , which unfortunatly released itsef at boatside . Then it was a big zero . But we had fun ,caught a couple in very adverse conditions , and were home by noon . Still better than working .
