Put in at the pass again today. Tide was way low. Found the fish at the edges of deaper guts running along the flats. As the tide came in the fish became more active but didn't venture far from the deaper water. They didn't make it into the more shallow water till late in the day when it was tough to see them against the sun. They did make quick jumps into the flats from the deeper water which is were I nailed em. It was kinda like just waiting around for one to make that mistake of showing himself within casting distance and then he was mine. Found one school of about 30 cruising and slurping little bitty shrimp at the edge of a flat and picked off a few rat reds from that school. Ended up with 6 reds. 3 smaller ones from that school and 3 keepers that made that mistake of venturing out of the deeper water. The largest was 26". The tide was returning to near normal levels by the end of the day. Wind was nothing out of the north switching to south about 5-10. Water was dirty starting out but cleared up as the day progressed. The stage seems set for tomorow?

Started out with mullet imitation fly but they would only look at it and not take it. Tried white shimp fly and grizzly sea deucer with the same results. Then the the spoon fly did the trick. I think maybe its because after a strip it still has good movement as it sinks?
