Labor Day Weekend Report

[Captmikestarrett]

Had 13 guests down to my house on the Piankatank River. Arrived late Wed night and had few drinks. OK a few too many for the ride out to bay was bit rough. Broke a flip up seat on a big wave. But we where able to setup on a good outgoing and began to bail sharks. Then a southern ray the size of a VW hit and almost spooled me. Kept so busy did not take any pics. No big drum but we got some major pullage. Friday we headed up the Dragon began flipping edges and scored many puppy drum and a bunch of LGMouth. Other scored bowfin, puppy drum and LGMouth. Here are pics from the Dragon.









So later that evening we head out from my dock and continue the quest for drum spots as we have a little spot count tourney among us.

Trout where caught but most where small the next two evenings.
On Sunday we headed again to the bay and got 25 sharks and 4 southern rays. A few blue fish too.
But the spot count was mine till late Sunday when a 15 spot puppy was caught and left my 23 lead in the dust of second place. Winner got a nice prize and lots of respect.
Today I went all fly and got four more puppy drum and a 8 lb blue cat.
