Your Fishing Report: If this is a tournament report do not state the fish’s length in this box. State the length and species in the box below Mike and I had not spent a day inshore fishing together in quite awhile so we decided to head out this morning to see how the inshore fishing was.  We headed out of the Anclote river at about 8:30 am and found that there were not many boats on the water. This was a relief since scallop season had reopened.  We first headed to the west side of Anclote Key to see if the large schools we had seen on Sunday were still there but no luck. We headed back to the area in front of the power plant and started in 8 ft of water and worked our  way toward shore on the incoming tide.  We caught lots of short and keeper size trout on shrimp and plastic.  About an hour after high tide when the tide had turned and the water was headed out we moved in next to the mangroves and near the oyster beds.  I caught a nice size shark and Mike landed two nice size keeper reds. It was starting to get hot so we headed in.  It was a great day for fishing and catching with an old friend.
