BIG sheepshead and spadefish.

I found out that a job got cancelled so it gave me a whole day to fish! I launched from under the CBBT at about 8:30AM and had 2 citation sheepshead (24.5" and 25" Both released) by 11-12 o'clock. I circled around the 1st island looking for black drum but didn't have any takers. I took some frozen sea clams and tried for spadefish around the pilings close to the island and ended up with some nice spades ranging from 11"-16.5"  Total for the day was 2 sheepshead, 6 spadefish, 4-5 croaker, an oyster toad, and a few bluefish. I was lucky enough to have Kayak Kevin call and warn me about an hour before a big front pushed through. Just as I got to the truck the storm hit and it was bad! I heard reports of 60mph winds! Sometimes it doesn't pay to fish that extra hour.
