The 1st Day of The New Season, Tue 1-1-2019.
This was my 1st Float Tube session for the 2018 Season.
I always like to take a few minutes before each session to calm my thoughts and to remember to give thanks, for being so BLESSED for having such good health and for this opportunity of being here today ... enjoying the water, all of it's abundance and to take-in the breath taking sunrise of each morning's session .... amen!

Session Summary: I figured that I'd contend with the extremely cold gusty winds of today just in case next weekend's predicted rains do wash-out all the hopeful fishing.
I'll take it when I can get it! OCFD
Note: All legals shown, but just one pic of each species landed if short and all fish were quickly CPR'd.
PLEASE .... always be completely respectful to the boat owners and their property ... their boats.
PLEASE ... always leave it cleaner than you found it!
So please grab a hand-full and Pitch-In!!
Thank you for taking the time to check out today's fish report!
Tight lines!
