St. Joe 10/2-10/3/04

Sat.
Put in at the city ramp around 4:00 p.m. and fished my way down towards Presnells. Ended up between Presnells and Black's Island in <3' of water. Caught more short trout than I can remember finally ended up with 1, 18" trout on a silver/black Zara Spook. Called it a day as the sun was going down. What a sunset!

Sun.
Launched the boat at Presnells at 7:00 a.m. and headed southwest of Blacks Island. Fished until 12:30 mostly in 3' of water. Caught plenty of short trout and trout over 20". Had a difficult time catching 4 trout between 15" and 20 " to complete a limit. Not that I'm complaining. Caught everything on a green/silver Top Dog Jr.

Water was clear with some murky areas, still lots of floating grass making topwater fishing tough. There is plenty of bait in the Bay. Trout were busting the water just like largemouth bass on shad. Man, I love that Bay.
