Steinhatchee 12/20
The day started out slow with a late start and us not launching until 1:00, and I ended up changing my mind in the river and deciding to go south instead of north. The cloud cover made the fishing a little dreary and cool, and it started SLOW. We fished the flats and creek mouths of Porpoise and Pine log creeks with no luck. We didn't get a bite until nearly 3:30pm and had to move around a bit. The water was much clearer from Rocky Creek south and finding the clear water was the ticket, we fished 2.5-4ft the rest of the day. Ended up with a nice 22 incher and a two man limit in 1.5 hours, we probably caught 20 or so shorts. Water temps were 58-59F and all in all an excellent day trip that made a good early Christmas present since I'm home from MO for the rest of the month.

Nice going all around! Way to stick with it, they have to eat sometime. I bet they will stay on the edge of the flats til we get some real bone-chilling weather.
Yours in the South

It looked worse outside of the pictures, looked like the Okefenokee Swamp to me, no shocker that chartreuse gulp jerk shads were the ticket.DixieReb wrote:The water in the river looks like Coca-Cola!
