CATCHIN TROUT ST. MARKS 4-20

Post by ALMAR »

THE TWO OLD MEN OF THE SEA, CARL BROWN AND I, GOT A LATE START THIS MORNING, LAUNCHED AT 7:45 A.M. THIS MORNING. WE WORKED THE BAR IN FRONT OF THE LIGHTHOUSE FOR ABOUT 30 MIN. AND HAD NO STRIKES. WE THEN HEADED EAST ABOUT 1 MILE IN WATER CLEAR AS GLASS AND JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WIND TO SET UP A GOOD DRIFT, 3RD. CAST I CAUGHT A 24" TROUT, SHE FAUGHT LIKE A RED, STRIPPING LINE SEVERAL TIME. WE THEN GOT A 19" TROUT ALL IN ABOUT 10 MIN. THE VERY NEXT CAST I HAD A SMASHING STRIKE AND BOY DID THAT FISH TAKE OFF. AFTER A SHORT FIGHT I GOT THE FISH TO THE BOAT AND IT WAS A SNOT CAT, SMASHING THAT TOP WATER PLUG. WE CAUGHT A TOTAL OF 68 TROUT AND HAD 10 KEEPERS FROM 16-24". THEY WERE NOT BUNCHED UP , GET ONE HERE AND ONE THERE BUT BY 1:00 P.M. WE ATE OUR LUNCH AND DECIDED TO HEAD TO THE HILL. ALL BUT ONE OF THE FISH WE CAUGHT TODAY HIT THE BLUE BACK YOZURI WITH THE SILVER SIDES, AND THE BOMBER BLUE BACK SILVER SIDES. CARL CAUGHT ONE SMALL TROUT ON THE DOA AND THAT WAS ABOUT ALL THERE IS TO REPORT. GLAD WE FINALLY CAUGHT SOME TROUT AT ST.MARKS. THIS IS OUR FIRST LIMIT DAY THIS YEAR.
:D :-D :) :P :lol: :thumbup: :thumbup: PA

PA,

I knew there were better things that to have to work yesterday. Great report - encouraging - I'm looking forward to the weekend even more.
I have that Yozuri, I believe, I'll give it a try too.
