Today was about as cold as it gets on the water with 38 degrees when we left the dock and it might have warmed up to 45 by the time we made it back to the dock. The one thing that will make a day like today seem warmer is to catch some fish, and when that happened I did not feel as cold. After several nice trout and I had just told Jon that the BIG fish we were looking for might just be in here today. I would have preferred Jon caught the next one because she was the one I had hoped would be in the area. A very nice 27-inch at least 8 pound, maybe up to 9 pounder trout took the bait only 10 feet or so away from the boat. I told Jon I did not think it was but 25 inches or so and he said you better measure that fish before you release her. Sure enough 27-inches, and VERY fat, not wanting to stress her out to much I did not pull out the scales and got her right back in the water. We stayed after it knowing all along that another possibly even bigger fish was in the area, but as the tide movement slowed down and the water level dropped about 2 feet we knew the window of opportunity was gone till next time. We ended up keeping 6 trout to 20 inches and released another 12 or so, we also kept 1 red and released another nice 22 inch Redfish.
