Snookered while I
was Under The Influence!Yesterday, I decided it was time to satisfy my Saltwater needs after a Six-month hiatus!
Yes, Under The Influence of a Full moon phase, and perfect high/dropping tide status. Had the new pup, Raynee aboard which makes the 3rd time to assess her/my tolerance of a 17' fishing space for multiple hours.
The Marine Weather Channel predicted light winds, so it was off for the 8 mile run offshore(5 protected/3 not so much). The 1- 2 footers with occasional white-capping had my guest firmly situated at my feet(laying down). Unfortunately, while slowing down, Raynee decided to "reintroduce" her early day puppy food. Thankfully, I was well prepared for all accidents that could occur...and they did!
The wond DID settle down to the forecast @930...Overall, we both had an enjoyable day of water togetherness, and the fish bit my finesse artificial offerings rather well. Two nice Snook(25/32" =CPR) Season opens 9/1. Three trout(16/18/19"). Flounder(14.5") Ladyfish, one nice 12" Grunt.
Enjoy the pics-
Back at the ramp, Raynee was onshore while I was final-loading rig, I stepped onto the trailer wheel fender from thigh-deep water and into boat. I heard a splash, paddling and a dog that got in the boat exactly like I JUST DID(via fender!) Unfortunately, no video!

Awesome day and awesome pics. Thank you, sir, for sharing your passion with the rest of us. Since it's about to start cooling off some, I am about to introduce my two-year-old plott hound to her first boat ride, now that she's settled down to within manageable levels from her wild and crazy puppy stage. Everyone needs a special and reliable fishing companion... for sure.
