Sun.

We put in at Indiantown at about 7:00 and were at the Island by 7:45. the wind was not too bad when we started but by 9:00 it was pretty stiff. The yellow perch were there on the flat in about 7 ft. of water but the wind made it hard to get a good presentation. We were either going too fast or backwards. Thinking about one of those drift socks.

Anyway, we quit at 1:00 with 14 to take home, 2 over 12 in. My new rod holders worked great and it was good to fish again after a 2 week break.
I,m going to try to get a day off this week because if you catch the right weather you should be able to fill the boat anytime between now and the end of the month.

Sounds like they are there. I assume (bad habit) that the flats you are talking about is that area right before you go thru the cut at the island? Did you have any problems at the ramp? I'm watching the weather forcasts real close right now. I think I may have a fever Wed and not go to work. LOL

Bill, you assumed right about the flat location. Another good place is through the cut and then bear to the right , maybe 60 yds. off the point of the island.
Basically anywhere you can find a flat place with 7 ft. of water is good.
I didn't have any problem at the ramp but have heard some stories, including one in which a guy left his trailer in the way so someone unhooked his trailer and rolled it into the water beside the ramp. I'm curious about what sort of trouble you are referring to.
About Wed., I can feel the flu coming. (cough) (sneeze)
