St. Marks, 3/23/04, 1/2 of a report

Post by dbplug »

Hit the fort with my two girls and Dexter(the lab) at about 1:30 for a little fishing and a little goofing. Went up in the East River for about an hour, live shrimp, FB tipped chartruese and FB tipped motor oil and E. chicken - No Luck.

Headed to the flats about a mile due south of the lighthouse, water temp 63.7. Wind out of the E, ENE at about 10-12. Same lures/bait, plus used a cigar CT. One bite on the shrimp under a CT. Very slow. One stop at spoil island and back at the fort at 5:00PM.

Hardly anyone on the water. Met the man on the way back up the river. Nice guy. I must be getting older because these LE guys keep getting younger and younger. I appreciate them being out there.

Well Wevans??? Wind was out of the east = no luck. You da' man!

BTW- The lab had a great time on his first ever boat trip after the girls pulled out the boiled peanuts from Miss Cleo. Boiled Peanuts and cold iced tea, add sunshine, a couple of little girls and you can't ask for more.

Be back out there Thurs. Fri. and Saturday. Will report.

Fine report db. My favorite kind. :thumbup: Sorry the girls didn't get to catch a fish. Went with my daughter and grandson last friday with the same results. We still had a blast. Put them on a Pinfish bed and they had a great time. :wink:

East wind is great if you are in 2 to 3 feet of water between Rock Island and the St. Marks Lighthouse.
