Water was crystal clear and we limited out in 15 min back at the house and the grease hot by 10 am... and then my alarm went off
The real story...
Rough Dirty water...
Took 2 buddies out this weekend for a little fishing...not cathcing
Fished from about 7-11:30 in 0.1' to 9' with CT, Red Fins, Top Dogs, Gulps, Live Shrimp, anything else that was in the TB and ended up with 2 cats Good day on the water other than no fish to eat... beats work!!!
A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the telephone.
Your trip sounds a lot like mine on Friday. I took a couple of friends out of Econfina and we were wore out from trying to just stay in the boat. Only caught 3 trout but two were over 20....3 or 4 short Sea Bass, one short flounder, one sail cat, 5 or 6 lady fish. Fished from the river mouth in close to the East then out to the new platform, then over South of Aucila, then in to the mouth of the Aucilla then back to the Econfina... about 11:45 to 12:30 the wind laid down a bit and we had a decent bite but over all it was a rough day!
"Good Judgement" comes from experience, ... and a lot of that..... results from "Bad Judgement".
