Today was calm and humid. Aransas Bay near Rockport was flat and looked like a mirror. We left Conn Brown Harbor at 6:00 AM for the run to the San Jose Island surf 20 miles north of Port Aransas. The ride was not bad. We found birds working small menhaden in the breakers and trout and red fish taking advantage of the bait. Our bite was steady and the fish larger than average even for the surf. By 11:00 AM, we had taken limits of speckled trout and red fish and everyone was sure of fresh fish for dinner. We stopped to fish a couple of production wells on the way home but no king fish or ling today. We were back to Conn Brown Harbor by 1:00 PM.
