There is a story with the pictures, but I'm too tired to post. Needless to say it was an interesting and fun day.

Totals for the day were

16 reds to 26"
10 trout 16-19"

All released to fight another day.

Only Chalk could walk on water like that.
Beautiful day it looks like.

So, I bagger Tom for weeks on penciling in a date between Christmas and the New Years for our annual trip to our "honey hole" at the stained Fenholloway river....Well the date is made and rendezvous is arrangedâ€¦..

What are the tides?
2004-12-29 09:51 EST -0.48 feet Low Tide
2004-12-29 16:19 EST 2.67 feet High Tide

Doesnâ€™t look bad does it? Well we launch and head out the riverâ€¦Tom forgets his sunglasses, turn around back to the truckâ€¦â€¦We comment and say wonder what a negative 1.5 tide looks like as we make our way to the mouthâ€¦.Arrive at the mouth to witness what I can only call a mine field of hazards, the â€œRock Gardenâ€

First, I'm glad to see you got Tom on the water. I thought he had quit fishing.

Looks like your effort payed off. That's a lot of work to catch a fish.

Y'all done good.

Good Job TC... (That's Tom and Chalk

) Great job of recording and reporting what looks like a fun day with some surprises thrown in

Lots of work and a long drive looks like it had a big payoff. Just reading the story makes my back ache. Is that a rental boat? I am sure there is a story in there somewhere. I like the "walking on water picture

Those negative tides can have a spooky effect, but allot of fun when the tide turns. The area you are in looks alive, and must be very remote. The CPR idea is great! Good Job!

Excellent and entertaining report. TK, we all know a picture is worth a thousand words. But in the same breath, I will say, Chalk, the the write up was entertaining too. Like RB and probably others, my first thought was this guy Chalk, can really walk on water- How cool is that??
Sounds like you two had a nice day and a good catch..
