After sleeping just 4 hours i start driving at 4 am to Rollover Pass to be early to catch some outgoing tide.In the dark at 6:30 i arrive at Rollover Pass on the east,Rollover Bay side.
When the day show up i start fishing in slow-moderate outgoing tide in little dirty water with nasty cold NW wind 9-14 mile/hour,but no bite until the tide change in incoming tide,about 9 am.
I have on bite catching on 27 inch,8.4 lb.speckled trout.Until 2 pm i was catching another 3 specks(29 inch,27.5 inch and 24.5 inch) and hooking and loosing in the way to landing net another nice 4 specks.I have another 2 bites,gut i can hook the fish because the bites was very close with another bank and the wind make big curve on my line.
After Ed Snyder was taking picture with all fish from my stringer i release the 29 inch and 27.5 inch specks ,i give the 24.5 inch to one fisherman close with me because don't catching nothing in this time,so i was taking home the 27 inch trout.
On another side of the channel one very good fisherman from Winnie was catching 6 specks releasing 2 fish because was bigger specks.My friend from Dallas HENRY FONENOT was catching 3 nice specks and JIM FROM high island was catching one 27 inch trout.
Nasty weather,with clouds and sun ,but cold NW wind.
I don't know why the ACCUWEATHER TIDE for Gilchrist don't show right the Tide ,showing from about 9 am incoming tide until dark,but about 3 pm. the tide start to be outgoing ,not incoming!!!!
You can see what i was catching in this pictures.First picture was taking by Ed SNYDER,another pictures was taking with my FUJIFILM S9000 camera
