State the length and species in the box below	After seeing recent inshore reports I could see a definite pattern had emerged so I decided to get in on the fun. We left ANCLOTE HARBOR MARINA at 9 AM. My plan was to go North in the ANCLOTE ANCHORAGE towards GULF HARBORS and drift back south towards the river along the east shore staying in depths of about 3 to 6 feet. The wind was blowing about 12 making the water bumpier than I expected so I headed toward the east bank around BAILEYS BLUFF to start my drift. We used live shrimp under slip bobbers from 3 to 5 down. We made this drift about 5 times stopping dead west of the power house and then repeated it. We picked up about 25 trout, only 3 of which were 15″ most were 12 to 13. We did catch 1 shark about 36″ We used 3 dozen whole shrimp and then switched to GULP in white for the last drift after all the shrimp were gone. The GULP was just as good as the live shrimp. Wind laid down as the day progressed. Overall, it was a fun day even though most of the trout were small, just glad to see so many. All were released.
