Splashed the boat down at Lanark today with my dad, wife, and my best friend Cody at about 9 am this morning. The wind was up and howling like the weather man predicted at about 15 knots all morning out of the east but it laid off a little to about 10 knots around noon. We ran east down to turkey point shoal where Doug and I lit up the reds last Tuesday and boy were they hungry. Those suckers acted like they hadn’t eaten all winter. We hooked up with solid trout to 20" and Reds to 23" all morning until about 1pm when the tide went slack. Then we ran west to the west end of bird island past the ramp with limited success. Spring is definitely here because dad had a monster explosion on his gulp/CT combo and had a monster Spanish around 28-30" on for about 2 or 3 minutes until he chewed through the mono leader. We caught all fish on Top Dogs, Gulp New Penny Shrimp CT combos, and Gulp Jerk Shads. We all had a blast and can’t wait to get back out. Next time hopefully it will be Gags off st marks during our state waters season ! Tight Lines!
Final tally:
8 Keeper Trout to 20"
6 Keeper Reds to 23"
4 Tired Anglers
Cody and I with our 4 best...
Our days catch...
Blackend and Fried

Nice fish, Jordan. Lanark is the place to be right now, tons of hungry trout, reds, flounder, and Spanish macs inshore and only a 4 mile run off dog for hungry grouper! Thanks for coming to see us!
