Yesterday was a beautiful day on the water. Felt like the 12 of April instead of December. We put in around 9:00am with very little water to work with and had a hell of a time getting out to the fishing grounds. When we finally got to start fishing we had a pretty productive day. We started out west of the mouth in about 3 feet of water. Water temp. was 68 deg. and gin clear. The two guys I had with me where using soft jerk baits and I had on a top dog. We all caught short trout in this spot but no keepers. There was some water starting to move back in so I decided to move to some creeks (GPS location available upon receipt of payment)

. I switched to a spoon and on about the third cast caught the first of two reds and a nice sheephead. All in all we had a good day and I only left about 4" of the skeg on a rock.

Final tally of kept fish: 2 reds (1-19" & 1-21"), 1 sheephead, 1 flounder,
3 trout (1-16" & 2-19")

Sorry no fish pictures but I did get a few of the river at what I think is the lowest I've every seen it.

Sounds like a good day Creech! Sorry about the skeg...I just got the Porter rock guard on the boat and plan on testing its durability this weekend.

Not too bad of a day.

Good report Creech.

Call Wavel Porter and get your skeg repaired and a new rock guard.

Quote from Wavel when we took the boat in, "I could weld two pieces of paper together if I had enough time...I could probably weld a broken heart back together..." He'll set you up. Tip: Pay in cash.

A friend of mine has hit 2 rocks while running wide open - One with a rock gaurd, and one without. both lower units were destroyed, the only diffrence was the one with the rock guard was still attached (by the rock guard only)
