Hit the lighthouse about noon for a quick afternoon, landing about half full. Very light chop, winds out of the south less than 10.
Ran to Aucilla, met a nice guy from T-Ville named Matt. He gave us a whole of info on bottom, bars, in general the area around the mouth of the Aucilla, very thankful for that. Heckuva nice guy.
Quickly caught 2 monstous hardheads on grubs with FB, Quicly moved. Water was beyond tea colored, more like overheated strong USN style coffee. Temp gauge reported water was 85-89 degrees.
Headed back west looking for clearer water and grass. caught one short about 2:30 just inside the stake line 3 mi. east of the lighthouse in about 7'. Pinfish were even hard to come by.
Last stop, old faithful, just out of the lighthouse in 5' yeilded the best although pathetic result. Trying to get pins on a homemade sabiki with FB for bait got us a 24" trout, amazing.
We could see the bottom in about 4' at this spot, so up went the flag, an down went the knothead. I Swam for 15 minutes, no scallops, no (well you know).
Better'n working. Wind picked up, moderate chop, off the water at 4:30
