St. Marks 12/13

Post by dombern34 »

my buddy called Saturday night seeing if I wanted to go fishing the next morning. doesn't take much twisting of the arm to get me to say yes lol. we get down to the fort launched and ready to go by 9am. super foggy so we ease down the river some and pull up between all the other boats along the sides and start fishing. didn't take long before we had the first keeper. (2nd, or 3rd cast) we had a 3 man limit really quickly fishing the bars around the mouth. caught a few short reds as well. bite died down and we were actually headed back in around 12:30.. our plans was to Duck hunt that evening but on the way back in this particular bend in the river had boats stacked up like scallop season! we followed suit but kept our distance (Covid reasons :wink:) we spot locked on an open area and it was literally one cast after another off and on for the next 4 hours. we never made it to the Duck hole that evening lol. looked like everyone around us was catching them as well which was awesome, kids were yelling from all over with excitement. we released everything that day but kept a ton of memories! :)

all fish were caught on Southern Custom Rods :-D

Those excited kids were probably in my boat. I had 5 with me on Sunday, and they were hyper at times! Impossible to keep them quiet.

I was there too. They were hitting everything from shrimp to cut mullet to gulp shrimp, but my "catch 'em on every cast " bait was a fat grey gulp minnow on a chartreuse jig head.
Might be different tomorrow, but on that day they were hangry

yes it was certainly a great day. we were using a z-man shrimp on a jig head. we couldn't keep them off the hook it seemed like.
