It was a good new bad news kind of day. First the tide came back up over night and the channel was possibly deep enough for boat traffic. The bad news was that the discharge tubes for dredging have been placed across the channel to block traffic. This may be to encourage boaters to find other access while the channel is being dredged.
With few other options, Jim(210) and I decided to use the shrimp that Scott had left over from his trip yesterday and go back to wade the shoreline near the causeway. The bad news there was that in two hours we had only one bite. The good news was that Jim put a 17 inch trout on his stringer. The better news was that he gave it to me to have for lunch tomorrow.
The good news was that gas dropped to $1.49 per gallon yesterday. The bad news is that my boat is sitting in the parking lot with 80 gallons of gas that I paid $3.38 per gallon for about five weeks ago.
