Additional Notes:

Met up w/ TommyTitan, Jens, Knox, Bentrod and 3 work buddies this morning. Unfortunately it was a very slow morning for the entire crew. The most I saw caught by 1 person was 2 fish.
Found a spot and waited till 6am to fish.
Water was at high tide and just receding when fished but a lot of water coming through w/ all the heavy rain we’ve had and it was more crowded today then yesterday too.
Good lesson for me...don't start expecting limits and of course really enjoyed meeting up w/ some good fishing buddies!
