Fantastic.



Wind should die down on Saturday and Sunday. Hoping for some trout & sheepshead in the St. Marks then.

Fished the refuge again today - wind was a little stronger than forecast so I went to the east instead of the west - tried to paddle 'inside' in the creeks and coves to avoid the wind but the north wind was blowing the water out, so it got a little tricky.

What were they biting?

With a 140hp?

I'm not sure how the project went, but it looked like a pretty difficult job.
