Camping trip on the Gheenoe

 We planned to camp on a spoil island Jeremy Stock, Tony Lai and myself (Jason Stock).  We all had stuff going on in the morning so we loaded up the gheenoe full of camping gear, fire wood and all our fishing gear..  We fished a couple different areas getting a couple bluefish and trout and such but we both knew that we would have to set the tent up at night..  We started setting up camp just after dusk and got the tent up.  Jeremy brought fire wood ready to cook our meal plus stare at the fire and be memorized by it.  Tony showed up shortly after we got the fire going and he came with food that his wife Jen had pre prepped wrapped in aluminum foil.  He had Grouper seasoned, carrots, potatoes, corn on the cob and baked beans.  Their is something about eating a good warm meal out while you are hanging out camping tastes so much better for some reason!   So after eating a delicious meal we jumped in our canoes fully tricked out and after a short run we started fishing.  Fish were exploding on  bigger size finger mullet every where around us in shallow water.  I was throwing the new One knocker spook which is a 4 inch top water causing a little bit more noise and was difinently getting some strikes right off the bat. Shortly after a few explosions on the top water I landed a trout that was 27 inches and fat... Jeremy shortly after picked up a fat 30 inch red while fluttering the CAL Greenie.  We covered the rest of the island and picked up a  handful of trout in the  lower 20s  while having fish exploding on mullet all around us.. Towards the end of us fishing around 1 or so I picked up another big gator trout  that was tacking drag almost thought I had a nice snook on after trying to grab the Willey trout splashing me Jeremy saying he ain't that big and I finally get a good grip on him and he says I take that back Probably a 7 lb trout.  We both were tired and satisfied and came back to camp chilled by the fire and we crawled in the tent and went to sleep.  The next morning we all woke up just as the sun was trying to peak out and with the super low tide the boats were on solid ground we all three gave the boats a shove and back in the water..  We fished around all day and checked different areas and caught some flounder and trout and lost a couple reds.  But it was fun and very inexpensive to just go out and really appreciate where we live at and hang out with friends and enjoy the times and fish we caught together! We be going more sooner than later! Its cheap, fun and a nice change!
Tight lines!
