I had a great time out on the flats with t today, running a Mate's Fee Only Card Shared trip with SRS Adventures in St. Petersburg, Florida. May is a fantastic month for flats fishing here, with warmer waters bringing in a variety of species. We met up at 1:00 am, which gave us plenty of time to get out to some prime spots before the sun came up. The weather played along nicely, with partly cloudy skies keeping things comfortable throughout the day. The water conditions were great, perfect for spotting fish on the flats.
We tried out a variety of techniques to entice the fish. I showed t how to work different lures and baits, adjusting our approach as we moved across the flats. The partly cloudy conditions actually worked in our favor, creating some nice shadows on the water that can help attract fish. We saw some promising signs - a few follows and even had a couple of near misses. Even though the fish weren't exactly jumping in the boat, it was still a blast being out there, working the water, and enjoying the day.
Though we didn't manage to land any big prize, but we still had a great time out on the water, enjoying the scenery and good company. That's the thing about fishing - sometimes it's just about being out there, soaking up the experience. We talked fishing, shared some stories, and I pointed out some of the local wildlife we spotted along the way. It's days like this that remind me why I love guiding - it's not always about the catch, but about the whole experience of being on the water.
