ochlockonee bay- Memorial day wkend

Post by roadtrip »

Made the trip down Sat. morning with Grasscarp in tow. We fished the bars at the mouth and the flats out from the bay. The weather was windy but layed just enough to get in a couple of hours. The tide was high, the water stained, not sure of the water temp as my GPS showed 96. We caught 10 reds on the bars with only 1 making the min. slot. We caught the spanish and trout on the flats between the 2 channels. The spanish were thick but finicky and moving quickly on us.

Sunday we bottom fished with Capt. Steve on the blowIII. The seas were fairly rough which made for a long day for a couple of the guys. We fished 80 feet of water and did o.k. Capt Steve is normaly a cinch for the limit but the groupas did not cooperate. The real crime is throwing back the 15 or so red snapper.

Wevans are you fishing between Piney and Bottoms road. I have tried to get there and done nothing but run aground. You could mail me a map with gps coordinates and track lines. Im sure me and Roadtrip can provide you with beer :beer: or a map of where not to fish.

Only if you go behind Piney Island "and a couple hard to get to ones" :-D shallow water and sand bars are the majority of the area :thumbup: :beer:
