Today was the slowest day at SML I've ever had. Between four of us we caught 3 tiny lady fish. I used everything I had in the tackle box to throw at them. There was not much breeze for a change and for the first time I was hoping for one. It was HOT. I talked to a couple people out there and no one had caught anything. The thing was, we had a great time anyway. I got to hang with some buddies on the water, have a couple cold ones and soak some bait. Met up with a newbie from the site and enjoyed having him join our crew. I'd spend a day like this not catching anything over going to work anytime. Hope everyone else enjoyed their day this much. We've already made a new plan for next week so hopefully I can post some good pics then.

SML is very slow right now. The water is so muddy right now. Had a number of good days there pre-Debbie but nothing since. Going to look elsewhere for the next couple of weeks.

Same deal at browns creek today. Saw a lot of kayakers and talked to a few but did not hear about much catching. We only managed a little jack and ray.

I did see a few shrimp starting to show up and the baitfish are a plenty. How long does it normally take for the salinity to return after a washout like we had with Debbie?

i had a nice time out there with the crew. all ready have the go ahead for next week .just let me know when and where i will be there. so hot out there i should have had a cold one.

I was out at browns yesterday, you probably saw me getting stuck in the sand on dead low

After the tide turned there was an hour period where it was hot. Snagged an undersized trout and a couple baby flounders, 4 reds and 2 of them happened to be 18-19" so I at least got to take them home. I'd say probably around 11:30 the bite turned off and then I didn't get anything but a couple croakers.

I need to try out Guana but after hearing these reports I'll wait a bit for it to clear up.

Nice, we're you the kayak with the flag in the back? Looked like you were tossing arties?

That wasn't me, but I saw who you're talking about. I was in an olive green kayak, and I was throwing arties/topwater in the early am.

Those are tough days man. Really beat ya up and rack your brain.

Just experienced the same thing at SML with me and the two boys today. Had a great first trip there on the first clear day after Debby, but today when we went back for more we ended up with nothing but a lot of sweat. We did get about a dozen solid strikes, but nothing made it to the canoe. I think it was just too hot for everyone, including the fish.

Oh, well. Mama said there'll be days like this, there'll be days like this, my mama said!
