State the length and species in the box below	John invited me out for a day of inshore fishing but partly because of the weather we did not hit the water until about 12:45pm. We thought we would catch the incoming tide for a few hours. Armed with live shrimp and a multiple amount plastic and hard body lures we headed out to an area just north of Marker 6 . We managed to catch a fair number of trout, a few were 16″ or better. At around 2 pm we looked up and could see a shelf cloud forming. We decided to move closer to the mouth of the Anclote River so if something came up it would be a short run in but before we even got the anchor pulled and the engine started we were in the middle of a torential down pour with 30+ mph winds. John did a hell of job working our way back to the Anclote channel and just about the time we got there the sky cleared. We were soaked but decided to fish in the river for a bit. John caught his first red fish and I hooked a nice size mangrove camper. We finally called it a day and headed in. Thanks John for the day of fishing and the adventure. LOL
