FYI, There are a couple of Tournaments going on tomorrow. One for sure out of Econfina ramp with probably 7- 12 boats just a guess. and the Red Trout shootout. Not sure how many of those folks will fish that area. With the format of 1 big trout and 1 big red I would say there might be an additional dozen or so boats along with the regular crowd weather permitting.

Thanks for that info. They will probably be out on water by the time we get to boat ramp.

Got a late start. On the water about 3:30 fished till 7:30.
One 18 inch keeper a few shorts, bsb and cats.
Had something big on cut bait out the back of the boat but came unbuttoned.
Ate oysters and shrimp at Deals. Spending the night in Perry will try again tomorrow .

We've had good luck lately between Aucilla and Ecofina mouth over spotty bottom. The water has been cleaner there than towards Rock island. 5-7' if using gulp make sure has yellow in it.

. Not today. Maybe next weekend. Look for clear water over spotty bottom. If you fish pins do small ones. And don't drag them most of the time if the pole is not in my hands when it gets hit. It's a lost fish. We tried deals the last trip. Sure was good food.

We might be heading down this weekend. Got a buddy that moved back this way from up north and trying to get him his fix. LOL
