Spring Warrior Jan 5, 2008

[Fisherman989]

Had two of the best fisherman friends on the Northern Gulf Coast go to Spring Warrior today and they didn't get the first bite all day. The water was clear...but read 45 degrees on their depthfinder. That's too cold for trout.
They run into several boats down there that reported the very same luck...zip.
I lay it to the water temp...they didn't go out to deeper water...but stayed close to shore.
Fish might have been not biting though....
What do you think?

Cold water, moon and weather....Tuesday suppose to be the best day next week per the moon

Just got off the phone with a buddy of mine. They went to Aucilla. Same thing. Not a bite all day....

I blame Birddog and TinCan.

45 f = no feeding fish! need to find warmer water ......get to those deep holes and warm springs

[Parrothead]

Same thing at St. Marks
Not alls lost though,picked up a case of landshark while in Fl
Fins Up

[What a mess]

I saw some of those guys I also saw a 28 " trout on ice at Wilson's in Perry we caught four reds two were keeper size and missed a few as well.

Fished with Redbelly and Casey Cook.

Not the ticket this time. Aucilla would have been warm enough.
I measured water at 10 degrees and I didn't get a fish to bite until 4:00 in the afternoon.
Considering the consistent pattern that everybody is posting I'm feeling good about catching any.

By the way, good stuff to read so many of us reporting the same thing.
I don't think I've seen a day where the collective reports are so similar
across the Big Bend - from PC to Hickory Mounds.

Hey good news around Panacea me and my bro caught over 30 reds today in 6"-18" of water. Maybe no trout but mucho rojo's.

[DixieReb]

I'm glad the reds are bit'in some, trout sure aint do'in it.

[jsuber]

The fish lips worked pretty good around Econfina Hickory Mounds area. Trout were no where to be seen but Redfish were everywhere. Good size ones too. Must be the yak.

[Reel Cowboy]

Sounds like a rough day out there.

One thing that I have noticed in the catching reports is creeks and holes...looks like the flats fish are not eating, but the holed up ones are...viola go find a hole
