This is my post for #freewriters Wednesday prompt dirt on face hosted by
It was a cool but beautiful morning on the river. I went to the middle bank of the inlet. My husband ran to the Big Flat then Coconut, he skipped three pompano at Coconut but did not catch anything. I skipped one at the middle bank but did not catch any.
I went to the North Bar then ran North of Long Point and back into the Beanfield, seeing nothing I ran back to the inlet. I decided to just anchor on Starvation but did not catch anything.
My husband texted me saying he was going home. I went back in Starvation to my trout hole and a pompano skipped out in front of my boat. I anchored and they kept skipping off of my boat, I caught one but decided that I should move because I was sitting right where they were laying. I dropped a buoy and moved to where I could throw my lines where I was anchored. They still skipped off of my boat. I did not catch anything else.
The tide had changed so I went back to the middle bank, I did not see anything, I just anchored. I was not there long and had one on, before I could get that one in the boat, another rod was jumping with one on it. I got both of them. I ended up catching eight there, but it was getting late so I had to leave.
I did not have a great day but it felt good to catch something and not come home with dirt on face as my husband did, don't tell him that I said that, lol.
There was a pile of Florida Mottled ducks just south of the boat ramp, I have never seen this many of them together. They are called Florida ducks because Florida is the only place that has this type.
