I met two friends early Friday to bundle up & hunt trout. Weather turned out to be pretty nice. We had an old Carolina Skiff 19 with a Honda 50. Itâ€™s a fishing boat. We were pretty sure the recent cold front with North winds and real low tides would add up to trout in the creeks â€“but where?
Recent reports were not encouraging. They should have been up the Aucilla by now. Our last trip a week and a half ago at St Marks wasnâ€™t too special. We opted for Spring Creek.
Good choice. We had three limits by 10:30, and that was with throwing back any less than 18â€

ALMAR, I haven't been there in many years but my Dad and I used to put in a Spring Creek Fish Camp with a 16' runabout. I don't remember it being a problem - 'course I was only 5 or 6....

Wow... there's some hogs in that group. Your party deserves some applause.

Don't want to raise a bunch of Heifer dust, but just for my own edification, isn't it part of the regulations that only one of the 5 fish limit can be over 20 inches?

Post by **wevans** » December 21st, 2004, 9:52 am

Yep, but when they is three fishin, three can be over 20
