Went back to the Ochlockonee Saturday morning ta try the Syripers again and got one keeper Bass and no Stripers "found out why to"

Back at the house at 9:30, eat and headed over to "GASP" Aucilla "the wifes uncle loves that place"

fished till 5:30 and got 2 keepers out of around 12 caught and lost a nice Red at the boat. Went out of Bottoms today and had the first keeper in the boat before the Sun peaked over the horizing

caught about 2 or three dozen Trout with most being just under 15"s and had my limit and culling by 9am

got borred with the Trout and decided ta try trolling a red headed Yozuri for an imaginary Spanish, that danged thang turned out ta be a REAL 20 incher

trolled for another 30 minutes and headed home with a smile on my face

Had a fella call on the radio wanting ta know just how many Spanish he could keep also, said he had around 10 already, SO THEY IS HEAR PEOPLE

Well, ya caught a few fish, and got out of the house. Did the Sopchoppy Redneck come back from Aucilla in one piece?

Okay, I'll bite. Why aren't the stripers there?

Didn't find any rocks

but did find several Oyster Bars

And the Stripers are "for the most part" further up river

Striper's are very different than some species.... they are for the most part VERY AFRAID of wigs and when one blows off.... they generally head up riv

er!

Got a good mess of Trout though. Ain't no Stripers in the Ochlockonee. All the Stripers down there are all way up the St. Marks River Wevans. Thought I already told you that.

Wevans, how deep were the bottoms trout? Were they on the flats or near the oyster bars?

Post by **wevans** » March 16th, 2004, 9:22 am

All of them came out of 1 1/2 to 3 foot of water, not so much as a nibble any deeper, my fist fish was caught right out from the landing and the rest on the flats between the landing and Piney Island

I didn't get more than a thousand yards from the landing untill I went out to the channel and trolled for the Spanish

Thanks, brother. Gonna give it a try in the am.

They really liked the top water plugs, but could not get a hookup due to the rough water. All fish came on a CT, 18" line with a 1/4 ounce jighead and a 3" white nightglow shrimp with red tail

Give em hell

I'll try. Gonna be kinda breezy, but I sure would like to have me a top water bite.

Wevans, which landing do you put in?

Post by **wevans** » March 16th, 2004, 11:13 am

Bottoms Landing, at the mouth of Dickerson Bay

Thanks, that's what I thought. I haven't been in there in a while. Can a car handle the road now (kayak on roof)?

You must be thinking of Skipper Bay Litt, the Bottoms Landing Rd. is paved all the way to the ramp "which is at the end"

I don't go down the Skipper Bay Rd. unless there has been a LONG dry spell
