We've had mixed results the last few trips.  A hard NE blow kept us in the river Thursday and Friday last week, but we were finally able to get back to the ocean after 5 days on Saturday for the PP Elks tourney, and also on Monday for a FTYP trip.

In sum, here's what's going on:

Thurs/Fri river trips both fished around morning high tides, were much slower than earlier in terms of keepers, but shorts are literally paving our river.  Shorts meaning real shorts, from 6"-14" all over the place.  Each trip we managed 2 keepers, but that was it out of ~75 fish trip (both trips were half-days).

Saturday for the PP Elks Capt Kenny had the boat with Larry, Brian, Ryan, Fred, and Tommy -- they were looking for that one big fish and fished their tails off all day.  Capt Kenny basically fished 4 spots all day, only 2 of which produced fluke.  The guys were able to grind out their 5 man limit of 25, but the best fish they took was a 6.1#er by Fred late in the day. 

Monday's FTYP trip was all about conditions.  Morning saw no drift, and just a few bites, so we made a move and had a couple of very good drifts, followed by a dramatic lull.  We poked around a few spots we haven't fished in some time and found little life, so we shot back to where we had them and finished with a slow pick of mostly quality keepers in the 20-23" range.  Also had seabass in the mix, some real nice ones.  Wound up with a total of 21 fish in the box for Monday's trip - biggest fluke was 4#.  Bill, Jim, John, and Mike each had 4 -- no limits today.
