Extremely tough week in the backwaters and inshore creeks. Very few Trout and BlackDrum, and only several "rat" Reds to our credit. Small craft advisery wind conditions and some of the most elevated tides of the year were two huge obstacles in our way of success. As tides and winds come back to normal next week, hopefully, the October fishing scene will rebound. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
