Monday, September 24, 2012-go figure, the weatherman was
wrong! The predicted 20 knot winds did
not come. We awoke at Gulfport to a
gorgeous day. The forecast is for light
east winds, so we slipped the lines and headed for the Chandeleur Islands. 1:30 PM-we arrived at Redfish Point. The island chain is severely eroded, and cuts
are numerous. We did find some surviving
grass flats, and drifted in the dinghy.
Saw lots of sharks and rays, but few reds. I did catch five nice trout! Alexis went to the beach, and it is in bad
shape, and covered in basketball size tar balls. It still is a beautiful setting, and we were
treated to a great sunset. Will fish
tomorrow. We have no cell or internet
service-so no office calls!!
Tuesday, September 25, 2012-I caught 25 trout and one red
this morning!! Light east winds, made
for a pleasant night. The water is as
pretty as Perdio Key, and we swam off the Moondance. Also, there are numerous shorebirds, and big
white pelicans on the beach. Last night,
the stargazing was wonderful. There
are four charter boats here, loaded with small runabouts. It is a popular spot, but not too
crowded. We will head toward Orange
Beach in the morning.
