We had a family trip to the Ochlocknee River this weekend. I managed to sneak off for a couple of hours Saturday morning. We fished up Bear Creek (S. of State Park). The tide was at slack low around 8:30 and there wasn't much of anything happening. I beat the banks with a gold spoon and finally switched to a gulp shrimp. Ended up with one really nice 26" red and a short flounder. The redfish fed 6 adults for dinner that evening. We were off the water by 10:30AM. To avoid being acused of a "self back patting glory hog" I let my sister in law hold the fish for a picture (figured ya'll would like that better than my face anyway)

Got to enjoy some family time and a beautiful sunset on the river Saturday evening.
Sunday on the way home I met up with some friends and hit St. Marks. We got on the water at the Light House about 1:00 and headed west. The action was fast and furious for about an hour. Tide was high and stayed high with the south wind. We fished the shore line and boated 4 reds pretty quickly. We were catching trout off one side of the boat and reds off the other. The action turned off around 3:00 and we were headed home by 4:30. Everything in less than 4' and caught on gulps. Total for the day. 4 reds (18" - 26"), ~10 trout (3 keepers), some catfish and a 10" grouper.

I bought a D50 last year off eBay with 2 lenses(Tamron) for around $650. I've had alot of fun with it. Was the pic of your SIL taken with the larger lense? I have some great photos of my kids that look like that, with the background blury, using the larger lense.
