6/2 Report....

[Duffman]

Afternoon trip today since family stuff got us hung up in the am. Shoved off at 1300 with a complete opposite of last weeks bait dragging. No bait just BT’s and gulp.

Hit the flats... Belford to the Triangle and picked. All shorts. Lotta cookie cutters 15-16”. 1oz white spros with a gulp swimming mullet.

Breeze kicked up SE so moved E to hide. Wind died down and so did boat traffic. Game on!!!! Blind casting to no surface action and no marks but the big boys came to play! Demons, not bass, but I’ve found a new respect for these guys.

Played catch and release for 2 hours with no one else around. All on light fluke jigging rods. Wish I had vid of the hits!! Tarpon like!!!

Kept 1 for the smoker and the rest released swimming strong.

Surface temps still 70 dropping to 67 on the incoming. Water still murky from rain runoff.
