Rain and some red puppy fish.. .

Well I had had it sitting home so I talked to tony(trigger) and he had had enough too. We decided to shoot for a small window of a weather break and go fish around oriental. We dropped the boats into a creek and paddled out. Started trying to find a trout but game changed quickly. My first fish hit topwater and was a nice 20ish inch drum. The wind was supposed to be sw but was n so made the n side of the river not too bad. We decided to leave the creek in search of a bigger puppy fish. Got set up and on my first cast the cork sunk. It was on. After about five mins I was putting this nice 50+ inch fish in my lap. Lost the clicker in my reel in the process but that was fine. Tony snapped a few pics and off she went.
Moved back into my drift and castes towards the bank a few times then the cork sunk again! After a really good pull I boat a nice 30" drum. That would be the last fish we would see today. The rain and a few boomers and a few heavenly bolts sent us packing. It really sucked that I didn't end up being Tony's day but next time he will prob run laps around me. All in all I'm glad we braved it and I got to put my hands on my first oldie of the yr. They still arnt in full force yet but there are some early comers around.
