Guess and I hit the cuts about 6:00 after picking the boat up at Stu's.  Unfortunately, he nor Scott could go with us.  Big mistake if you like catching fish for 5 hours.  We started catching from the git-go, all on top for me, BA's and Norton's for Guess(black/white norton).  The tide pulled all the shrimp in the bay out the cuts...and the fish followed.  We kept our 20 trout, 5 reds (Guess lost one in his hands), but caught many more keepers and we (Guess)timate 100 a piece.  All trout were female and between 16" and 22", with the majority of keeps around 20".  The reds fell on the opposite side, running nortons along that bank.  We tried to leave and I caught 3 17"s in a row 5 feet from the bank.  The trout were popping for 5 solid hours...It was one for the books!
