Water prettier... a little gull activity.

Johnny and I worked a big group today and it looked better at the cleaning table than it really was.  We flat out struggled much of the day with the wind and off-colored water on the south end of the lake.  We were able to fish the east side of the jetties, but everything else was blown out.  The water looked pretty bad in both the ship channel and the gulf side.

We came back into the lake and drifted the reef and caught a few keeper trout and one slot red, but the water had cleared up pretty good by then.  We saved our day hustling 16 to 18 inch trout under a handful of gulls  in the open lake.  Color of plastic did not seem to matter if you could keep up with the schools.

We did not count the fish we cleaned, but it was somewhere between 20 and 25 total for both boats.  I have not seen the south end of the lake as clear as it was late today.  We are supposed to have a much more favorable wind day tomorrow so maybe the fishing will be a little easier.
