My solo session from 07:45 hrs until 10:45 hrs

I always like to take a few minutes before each session begins ... to calm my thoughts and to remember to give thanks to HIM!

I am grateful for having received the blessing of good health and for this opportunity to be here today ... to be able to enjoy this water, with all of it's abundance and to take-in the breath taking sunrise of each new day ....

ONLY 3-fish total today. THAT ALL FOLK'S!!
It's been really tough out there lately folks ....

(2) Spotty's, best 13 1/2"

Side Note: I live alone (isolated) and float tube fishing has been a very positive avenue of tension release for me during this terrible COVID-19 pandemic; to be able to spend some time outside of my house (isolated), getting some fresh air, to see other people out there, getting-in some much needed exercise while I enjoy my brief time outside the house, on the water. Cool

Isn’t summer supposed to be the best time for bay fishing? Warm water—-lots of fish? What’s going on?

Thanks Jerdon,

The morning tides have not been my favorite tides; starting off with a minus tide 1st thing the morn, but I still need to fish for my sanity!

Thanx for chiming-in!

Good report as always. Its always nice to get out on the water during this time. The water temp changed a bit and the bite shut down. I made it out Wednesday night and only had two fish. One of those was a nice bat ray. Hopefully the bite picks up again here.

Good morning MarkG,

Yes, the spawn season and summer supposedly go hand-n’-hand and are suppose to be the best time of the season for fishing in the bays ... but ... don’t give up, we still may get a late bite.

I may start fishing the sundowners, in search of the bite.
Someone or something needs to change ... and now!

I’m certain that you do all the things I’m going to mention, but I often change-up my lure retrieval speeds in order to slow my retrieves from very S-L-O-W to completely STOPPED for minutes at times and then I just wait for the bite!

I also change-out my bait colors; a-lot more often, in order to see what and how they want it presented to them, to get them to bite.

I also find that I even kick a lot further and I cast a-lot-more casts these days for fewer bites, during these warm days of summer.

THESE DAYS, I CALL IT HUNTING! ... THAT’S FISHN’ FOR YA!

HAVE FUN!!

lol

Hi ya Toby,

I appreciate you chiming in sir!
It’s almost 5:00 PM, and so I’m going to head over to the water and give the incoming tide a cast or two until sundown this evening on 8-3-20.

Hopefully I will find enough action to finally do a decent fish report. Thumbs Up
