Spring Creek 11/6

Post by **mjsigns** » November 7th, 2004, 4:54 pm

My 10yr old daughter wanted to come fishing with me, and I wanted to try someplace new. She really wanted to go along just for the boat ride. Put the TC II in down at Spring Creek at the â€œprivateâ€

Sounds like Spring Creek is just like it was during my trips there while in my youth.....treacherous. Haven't been there in years....but you described it perfectly. Looks like the best place on earth to fish with all those oyster-bars.
I know you know those sail cats are good eating.
I call "white drum" , drum. They look a little like sheephead. Caught a nice one at Econfina last week.

I appreciate everyones comments and applause

My report seems more like a navigation narrative, but at least we caught something. I hated cleaning those cats. If my girl wasn't with me I would have let them go. She insisted on keeping them. Shelley's casting skills are improving with every trip. She would het sooo excited when one of those big cats got on the other end. I enjoyed watching her reel them in. Every fishing trip I take the kids along is a true adventure

The "white drum" are actually just "whiting" http://www.brightonmarina-seafishing.co ... iting.html

Thanks All

A black drum--

A whiting--

Which one? I've caught a few black drum around the oyster bars at St. Marks, but I've never run into whiting around oyster bars--usually get them at the beaches. Is it common to get whiting at the oyster bars?

A great day on the water with your daughter is a day to be cherished!

It just doesn't get any better than that!
