With The Blind Hog still on the DL. Casey and I pulled up to Jerry's around 6:15 with a 14' Lowe Jon Boat in tow. Talked with some folks and headed for the Aucilla. Stopped by the gas station to fill up the boat, saw BB and CT. CT gave some rods that Casey had ordered, he put them in the boat and we were off. 500 yards from the gas station i see something out of the corner of my eye in the rear view. "I think your rods just blew out." We stopped and casey got out and looked " No Rods."
A u-turn and a spot light and ten minutes later, rods found and were off again. Got to the ramp at the aucilla and there were white caps at the ramp.
Had talks of heading home. Started talking about alligator point, so we headed there. Got the boat in the water around 9:30 ran and fished a few spots nada.
. Said hell lets give Lanark a try. Got back to the ramp 11:30 handed Casey my keys to back the truck down. He backs the truck down I pull the boat on. He goes to get back in the truck to pull us out, but there is One PROBLEM keys are now locked in the truck
. So with the truck running on a sand ramp with the tide on it's way in
, spend the next 20 min with a coat hanger getting the window down. Decided to push are luck alittle more and head to lanark. payed the ramp fee launched the boat. headed out the canal heading east, stopped about 500 yards from the canal soaking wet. Well this is going to have to work. Made about 5 drifts towards shore picked up three keeper trout. In only an hour This is starting to look like a Mook report so after all of that we took our tired azz home. Great seeing everybody at the weight-in.
