St Marks 1/12/08
Took the day off of serious fishing and took my 6 yr old son and my dad for a boat ride with fishing poles. Started with lunch at Riverside Cafe then headed down the river. Caught the rising tide just before it washed over the oyster bars.
Dad caught a good size gar that thankfully released itself at the boat, and my son caught numerous fish with his zebco and was able to improve his casting skills. He brougth in numerous little silver fish in the 4-6 inch range (sand trout?) a mini trout and his biggest fish to date - a 20" red. All fish caught on live shrimp. Spent maybe 2 1/2 hours on the water and did as much boat riding as fishing.
The red will be tonights dinner.

The small fish are silver perch.
Sounds like you had a great day!

We had a really good time. The weather was great, the fishing was good enough and low intensity, and riverside is always good. Now my daughter and wife are jealous. We will all be going next weekend.
Thx for the fish id mo.
