Too much work lately has severely cut into fishing these days, so Monday afternoon presented a slight window to hit the water for a bit of fishing with the family. We got down to Econfina about 1:30pm and backed down the ramp. Had 2 guys pull their boat into the slip where we were loading. I waited for a minute, then politely asked if they could move over so I could launch. By this time, the other guy had pulled up to load their boat. He finally figured out that I wasn't moving for him, so they went to the other side. I launched, then went to park the truck. I get back to the slip and my wife informed me that the guy chewed her out about "proper launching procedure." He didn't have the sack to mention it to me, so I started towards his truck so he could enlighten me on how a-holes load their boat. He saw me approaching and promptly got in his truck and drove off back to GA. We finally push off and head down the river.
We run out towards Aucilla and start fishing in 3 ft. Second cast is met with a huge topwater explosion yielding this 26.9999" stud.....

With the entire gulf wide open, they feel the need to ease right on up and start fishing. I manage a few more trout and decide to move on. We get to the second spot where Zach is met with this nice red....
We fish for 2 more hours and boat some nice trout, reds, blues, jacks and the ever present ladyfish. Back at the ramp at 5:30pm and home before dark with enough time to filet some reds and trout for dinner
