Randy Schulte sent these notes about his weeekend.
Huge crowd this weekend. Fireworks everywhere on the night of the 4th. We got in Thursday night. Woke up to rain Friday morning, no fishing trip. About 2 in the morning a couple of kids decided to set off some fireworks between my unit and 401. Every time one went off the car in 307 had its alarm go off briefly. I should have gotten up and chased them off but did not.
We hit Estes Flats Saturday morning, very slow. Only 4 throwback trout on perch. We did pull a Larry Biggers on Saturday evening. I threw a line out on the beach in back of my place and a little later Dulice caught a trout on the perch, it was only 14 inches but I was surprised it could be done in the sand in off my porch.
Some guest caught a 27 inch red Saturday in the mitigation site. We had seen a huge fish cruise by last week and it must have been a bull red nearly 40 inches. The same guy that caught the 27 said it was eating chicken necks out of their crab traps. He put one on a hook and had it on briefly. Later in a boat slip about 10 yards south of the crosswalk, he caught it in a cast net. Took some pictures and let it go. The fish is not afraid of people for some reason. We had quite a storm blow in about 4 Saturday afternoon. It came in from the east with a tremendous amount of wind. Stuff was flying everywhere. Pretty good rain out of it.
Today we awoke to rain again. Finally about 11 it was calm and only slightly sprinkling. We ran out to the wells in front and managed one 15.5 trout on a gulp.My 8 year old grandson caught a 15 inch flounder Sunday at about 10 in the morning by dragging a 2 inch gulp on a bottom rig in the boat channel right where the south pier starts. Now he thinks he is superman!
