After the lightning quit I went out for a short wade around 3:30 between Dimit Pier and the highway. I got rained on but eventually it stopped. Started out with soft plastics and worked through my tackle along the shoreline. Lots of shrimp and mullet around but nothing, not even a bite with Poppin cork and gulp shrimp. On the way back switched to topwater. First cast had a blow up. came into a school of reds and was able to get a 26" to the net. Due to a rod malfunction I wasn't able to keep up with the school but I ended up catching and releasing two 22" trout from the same spot, and a third came off due to foul hookset. I don't think it was the bait that wasn't working earlier but timing. Didn't start getting bit until 5:45. With the moon I figured that's when they started to move in closer to the shallows for the night feed. Will try to post Pics, may need help.

I guess that worked. Here's the red. The trout were released.

It's always equipment malfunction when we don't catch what we should have. At least that's always my excuse. Lol. Nice catch
