I met Chad Hood and his son Alex at the southend ramp Tuesday afternoon with the tide a couple of hours short of high. We ran straight back to Broward Island where we had some good fishing earlier in the day and with the island blocking the SE wind that had picked up, we began fishing the bank, tossing live shrimp under a float up near the logs. Chad hooked up with a hard fighting Blue right off then as we got to the middle of the island I anchored up. Will got really accomplished at casting the bottom rig and in a short while had hooked up with a sneaky and hard to catch Sheepshead.
We also had visitor, a Pilated Woodpecker that was pecking away at a dead pine tree searching for food. Chad continued to toss the shrimp/float combo and picked up a nice, fat, keeper sized Seatrout. With the tide peaking, we pulled and ran to Poteat Cut, anchoring at a creek run out, and fished it with the float rigs. Alex continued to toss the bottom rig and was rewarded with a large whiting. After another stop or two, we called it a day, another great one to be out on the water!
