Econfina 9-18-2010 report

Post by Welby »

Well my much anticipated trip to the coast did not disappoint. My stepson Josh and I left the house about 5:50AM (twenty minutes later than I had planned). We unloaded the SeaPro just after 7 and headed out. On the way out the river Josh snapped this photo

We had a plan to try in close hoping to bag a couple Redfish then we could foucus on the trout. Conditions were great all day long. Just a slight chop and just enough breeze for a slow drift. Josh hooked into what we think was a nice Red but we never saw it as it came unbuttoned after about 20-30 seconds of pulling drag. Never got our Reds but we did manage 7 keeper trout mostly in the 5-7 feet depth. Had 3 Manatee circle the boat twice and a Porpoise jump completely airborn as I was running about 30 MPH 25' or so off my bow :smt107 . Really scared the pajeses out of me.......Never seen that before.

Here's the catch

After

Even with the Dogs losing a close one, It was another great day !!!

God continues to Bless !

I can't decide which looks better, the trout or the trout . . .

To fish, or not to fish, . . . those are the answers.

They obviously know how to cook fish.
The backs are the best.
Dummies throw them out.

Nice work Welby. You better get some Dawg's coasters to match that tumbler or the wifey will get upset when you put rings on that nice table ;-)
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.
