Spring Warrior 3/19 - 3/20

Post by **Perch Jerker** » March 20th, 2007, 10:40 pm

Struggled out of the creek on what I thought was to be a rising tide, but the strong North wind was pushing it out faster than it could come in. I was doing pretty good till i got to the mouth and saw a boat that appeared to be fishing, so I headed his way thinking the water must be deeper. Turns out he was stucker than I was. We pushed out together till we got almost to the tripod. I kept thinking that this was not what I was picturing in my mind during the 4.5 hour trip down. So with the exercise behind me and several lessons learned, it was time to fish. I caught several small reds and as the tide finally reached full pool, I was able to get in real close, and I mean close. I started seeing some action and I assumed it to be reds but it turned out that there were trout mixed in with them. Big trout. I caught 4 good trout and several reds, two of which were keeper size. Caught all on gulps. And then the wind did a 180 and started to blow from the west and it was all over. Yesterday I fished through the low tide and had to leave early, before the high tide, I caught 3 barely keeper trout on the flats with one of those redfish spinner baits. took out at 12:00 and headed north. As always, I enjoyed fishing at Spring Warrior and staying at the fish camp with Mr. James Pittman. I sure hope there are places like this still around when I'm able to fish on my own schedule.

Low water can be tough. Sounds like you made the best of it.
