FISHIN ST. MARKS

Post by FUTCHCAIRO »

THE TWO OLD MEN OF THE SEA LAUNCHED THE BARGE THIS MORNIN AT THE LIGHTHOUSE POOL AT 7:30. WHEN WE GOT TO THE END OF THE CANAL THERE WAS A GAIL BLOWING OUT OF THE SOUTH. WE EASED TOWARD THE EAST AND FINALLY STOPPED AT AROUND THE # 3 STAKE. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, WE CAUGHT 14 TROUT AND HAD 3 KEEPERS BY 1:00 P.M. THE WIND BLEW A STEADY 20 MPH WITH GUST UP TO 30 THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE. THOSE 3 TROUT WERE 15 1/5", 17", AND 18". MOST OF THE THROW BACKS WERE BETWEEN 8-10"
WATER TEMP WAS 74, WATER CLEAR, WIND HOWLING.
ALL OF THE TROUT WERE CAUGHT ON SLURP WHITE GRUBS. MAYBE THE WIND WILL WORK FOR US NEXT TIME.
