Sunday fun at St. Marks

Post by Koenig »

Went to St. Marks Sunday. We got out there at about 6:30 or 7:00am. It was a bit windy and cool, but it eventually laid down, some. First started out to the west and fished some oyster bars. (I've have yet to catch a Red, dang'it!!! anyone got any tips?) The bars were slow and tide was rushing out. Low tide was at 9:30 or so. We decied to head out to the east flats. We run on around a good bit but stayed this side of all the other boats. I recon they were at the rock garden, right? Im still trying to learn all these names and places. Anyways, we drop anchor at a drap to slow our drift and we fish. I tell ya, for a day that started out slow, it sure picked up for us. We ended up boating 47 trout and 1 Spanish! A lot were short but the most were just under keeper size. 4 were just over. we kept the 4 trout and the Spanish. Mostly we caught them on straight jigs. Some on jigs under CT. Some on Catch 2000's. (personal all time fav) Caught the most on a new buck tail jig I bought at Wal-mart the night before. When I was buying it I was thinking to myself, this thing aint gonna work, funny how that worked out! :D The last fish of the day was that Spanish on that buck tail. Foul hooked him in the gut! I would have to say that was one of the best fishing trips! They are all great but yesterday was just not stop! The day was beautiful and like I said the wind and chop laid down a good bit. It was just one of them awesome days! :-D

Water: farly dark but could still see bottom at 8 feet or so.
Depth: any where from two feet to 8 feet (caught'em at all depths)

Haven't read any weekend reports yet but hope you guys were able to get out and fetch'em up!

Good Report Koenig-

I went out there about 2pm Sunday afternoon. We caught 20-30 short trout, and I hooked my first catfish of the season :-D I did not file a report because I have not had time. Water was 72.6, almost 2 degrees warmer than it was on Friday.

:thumbup: :thumbup: Sounds like yall found 'em, Koenig. It sounds like ya were just outside the rock garden if there were a lot of boats inside of where you fished. That area's been good now for 2 weeks. We used to fish doll flys on the flats, looked kinda like your bucktail jig. And we caught fish on them, too. Haven't tried one in years , but sounds like I need to! :smt004

I think we were to the west of the rock garden, but then again, I don't know where the rock garden is. Where is it? Can you see it, is there some sort of land mark to look for?
