Spring Creek 4/9

Post by GC »

Not much to report, but I know some of you like to hear the good and the bad.....

They (my dad +2) trolled every lure in the box for several hours around the Spring Creek reef without a single hit. Stopped to eat lunch and threw out live shrimp under a CT. Within thirty minutes they had boated 4 keeper mackerel and 1 keeper trout. Said they were in 4-5 feet when they caught the fish. Got cut off by a couple too. Tried trolling some more with no luck. Bite shut down and haven't caught a single fish since.

They're headed back in now to try the shallower water closer to the mouth of the river.

Said the water was smooth as glass up until about an hour ago. Wind is starting to pick up now and the water is getting a slight chop.

Said they'll be fishing east, over towards the St. Marks light house tomorrow.
