...Or maybe the title should be "Wednesday's 11 Welts"

The no see'ums were thick and swarming yesterday afternoon / evening. Covered head to toe, hat, glasses, long sleeve t shirt, gloves, sweats. With repeated re applications of 40% DEET. My buddy was wearing a sleeveless t shirt n shorts. He's reporting 50 bites. Crazy.

But in between swating clouds of bugs we managed a few fish. Reds on topwater in the marsh, a baby shark and baby king near the surf on finger mullet. We ended the day with topwater specs inside. Along with the specs, the blues and lizards slashed at out topwaters. All in all we had a blast.

I usually keep some thin long pants and long sleeve shirt on the boat for just such occasions, and a buff too to keep from inhaling them nasty critters and keep them out of my ears as well.

Never leave to fish without a buff!
