Trip Report: Tray (prototype) and I were the only ones to fish. Due to the wind we decided to hit the LNG instead of 210. Kinda dirty water and was a bitter cold morning. Cold front blew thru the day before putting temps in the high 30's and North wind about 15 kts.  Fished from sunrise till just after 11. Ended up with 1 lone flounder. not much action on the water. was great to get out and fish.
