8/20 Upper Bay

Anchored up in 18ft of water with Anglin Andy to see what would eat some sheddars. Caught sea bass, two types of puffer fish, 5 Tog 1 @ 13.5 and was fat, flounder, pompano or permit you make the call ( I say Pompano Tenacious says Permit they are 2 very similar looking fish and the Permit is more likely but the yellow in the fins has me saying Pompano either way pretty cool). Great day to be on the water.

Nice seeing ya yesterday. After 2 weeks I really needed it. Great to be out again. Too bad the weather is what it is. Supposed to be going out with Tenacious today but weather. Sure glad we got yesterday in.

I was going to anchor up but didn't call to Jenkins to see if they had shedder crabs. They didn't. That sounds like one great day, almost like Florida fishing. Thanks for the report makes me want to anchor next time. Nice pic. Sucks sitting out today.

congrats again... and i change my previous guess from permit to pompano, you are correct.

There was a mini school of about 3 others that followed the fish to the boat. First fish of the day and thought that would be cool to be catching a bunch of these but that was the only one.

I was thinking that as I was eating my microwaved dinner...haha Always next time. I was a little cocky I guess. Thought I was going to have Tog for dinner and was really close...
