Pulled out of the ramp at about 7:00 am and headed to the birdrack where Ive been fishing lately,wind was calm ,water temp 84 degrees,tossed a live scrimp /CT out the back of the boat and was gonna work a grub on the bottom,before i could get my grub on I had a 16 in trout on,seemed like it was gonna be a good day at that point,unfortunately i didnt get another trout from there after fishing 2+hrs. Headed over towards the creeks around Aucilla to try my luck on a redfish,anchored down off a oyster bar and quickly pulled up a 21 in. redfish, caught a few more puppys, but the 21in. red was the only legal I caught,spanish were schooling bigtime at the mouth of the creek and I caught 7 16-24in. spanish ,those were fun.Tide was headed out so I headed back toward Econfina and tried for some more trout,this time i was straight out the mouth about 2 miles,fishing 4-5 feet of water,worked it hard with grubs and shrimp and caught 3 more trout, the bite was pretty slow all day. Final tally 4 trout 16-18.5 in. 7 spanish 16-24in. 1 21in. redfish.2-3 short trout ,2 puffer fish 8 cats

redfish was caught on a swimmin image plug, threw a electric chicken grub/CT at the spanish and they gladly accepted it

Tried the same area today (Friday) from EConfina. The wind was not too bad...but it wasn't calm. Tried the area about 1 mile south of the tripod...zip. Went over toward Aucilla...close in to shore....got a few shorts. Went out to the 4-5 foot depth...and on CT/jigs got 3 about 17in around 11-12 oclock.
Caught a silver dollar size shiner(pinfish)....and within 5 min.....had a good keeper trout.
It was tough fishing to me. Quit about 3 PM. Gonna lay low for awhile.
