Put in at Goodhands this morning around 7am just before the tide was due to crest. The wind was light, the humidity high and current completely slack....
I knew the odds were not in my favor, but it was my only window to fish this week, so I went out anyway. I decided to mimic John V's technique of trolling light paddle tails in 3-4' of water. It wasn't long before I caught my first dink. It wasn't long after that when my FF battery gave up the ghost - a significant liability when trying to maintain a depth contour......
The rest of the morning was spent jigging known structure and trolling using an App called Skipper (real time plotting and speed on a NOAA chart). All I was able to entice to my offerings were multiple dinks. None over 10 or 11 inches.
It was far from an ideal day, but it was a day on the water that did not include the word "skunk" so I am not complaining (too much).
