I took a couple of young friends out yesterday with hopes of finding a new trout spot or two. We fished with artificial baits for about 3 hours with 2 flounder and a trout boated. I decided to do some bottom fishing and maybe put them on a shark. Ended up finishing off the cooler space with whiting and croakers. Also caught a 4 ft. bonnetthead, and a couple of 3 ft. spinners. It was very cool to have several Manta Rays breaching the water around the boat in the sound. A very nice day on the water.
