Met Tim and Dave at Bottoms Road yesterday for a first light launch. They are doing something at the launch as there were 2 large rectangular containers (floating docks) or something like that by the ramp.
We didn't really catch what we wanted to catch for the day. Tim caught 10 trout, 1 spanish (mayber 2), 1 bluefish, a few catfish and more ladyfish than he could count. I caught 6 trout, several catfish and more ladyfish than I could count. I did hook and get a cobia along side before the lure unbuttoned. Double checked pictures this morning. Wasn't a remora. it had the small spike/bumps in front of the dorsal fin, so I'm positive it was a cobia.
Tim and I chased a lot of baitfish being hit by lady fish and other species of fish. We knew the trout were below the activity. Tim managed to get a few trout that way. Towards the end of the day I hooked a 26 inch ladyfish that I swore was a small tarpon only to find out it was a hug ladyfish that inhaled the lure. All in all we had to have caught over 50 ladyfish between us out on the flats. A lot of great dancing and fighting by all the ladyfish.
Not sure what Dave caught as he wandered off on his own and was off the water by the time our day ended. Still a fun day on the water.
