Went last night and the water was a lot higher than what I like to fish but we tried anyway.  Unloaded at the first spot, went straight to the normally productive area and only picked up one fish.  Tried a couple of more spots and deciced to trailer the boat and relocate, something unusual though, at the last spot we seen a Black Drum that was pushing 40 lbs, if not a little more.  He was an absolute monster!!!  I was gonna try to get a pic but before I could get the camera he was gone.  Anyway we loaded the boat back up made about a 45 minute  drive to the next spot only to discover that we weren't gonna be alone here.  Parking lot full!!!  Oh well, we put in and the wind started up within 10 minutes.  So much for that bay waters smooth prediction!!!   I used almost every trick I knew and was only able to scrounge up 8 more.  I hope things pick up towards the end of the week.

Check out this ones tail.  I didn't notice it until I took him out of the ice box this morning.  I not sure what happened to him.  Looked like somebody took a pair of scissors to it and it stayed that way.  Anybody got any guesses?

If you gigged him around eleven mile creek this could explain it.

Hell, at his point I'd love to go and kill eight in one night. Over here around Choctawhatchee Bay it has been the slowest in several years. Best I've done is 5 in one night since June. Probably heat up over here in a few weeks.

I know that it sounds a little greedy but, this is the worst trip that I've had all year.  Oh well, if you go enough your gonna have a flop every once in a while.

Untill the second week of September I had killed less than 10 fish in 10 trips, maybe it will pick up for you too.
