Econfina 6/29/12

Post by jwnoles »

Got to the Econfina around 12:30 PM on Friday. Ended up being a little bit choppier than I had hoped having my 6 year old. So with that, I decided to stay in around 5 to 6 feet. We ended up leaving at 4:15 PM bringing home 6 trout (three 18", two 17" and one 16"). Had to toss back two pup reds (16" and 17") which stunk because I usually don't catch reds. Jake (my son) also caught a pompano (I believe) that was just over 12". But we released it because I wasn't sure if it was a pompano for sure and didn't want any trouble with the law man. All in all, had a blast. I wish all of you all a safe and happy 4th!

Yes it was really stained. Looked like a glass of Sonny's sweet tea!

nice. Probably a jack rather than a pomp. I caught a few over there Saturday.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

Nice catch, looks like he had a blast.
Ducks, turkeys, flats fishing. Who has time for golf?
