We headed out about 10:30 to get in a little time on the water. Left the marina, felt the wind and saw the whitecaps in the creek, and decided to wait it out a while. Headed up the creek for a bit and played with the ultralight gear. It was worth a small White Perch and one nice Yellow Perch. Caught them both on a chrome Super Duper.
Went back towards the bay and it looked a little better out so we ran to the channel where we ended up in some really sloppy water again. The waves were so big that apparently they were hiding the whitecaps from sight when we were still leaving the creek. Got beat up for about an hour and called it quits.
The water had a very slight mocha color to it. The creeks were actually really clear. Not sure where the color change came from.....it wasn't much, just enough to be noticed.
Saw no one else out there today....no surprise I guess. Everyone that dared to go out was probably well south of the bridge while we were still a couple of miles north of it.
Saw a fair amount of bait (not as much as previous trips this year) and maybe a few fish on the Lowrance. Nothing very exciting though.
Anyone else go out today? I saw a few boats trailering down college parkway towards Sandy Point this morning.
