Three boats from Moultrie, Ga. went out at 7:30 am to flats fish, 2 put in at Econfina and one went out of Aucilla. Tide low and rising, everybody fished west of Econfina but didn't find much. Fisherman 989 and his partner got 6 keepers close to Aucilla entrance, the other boats only got 3 keepers between them. Water got real still at 12 noon and got hot also, everybody went looking in all directions. FM989 went to the rock garden and managed a few more to finish their limit out, quit at 2:30. The Econfina boats headed back east. Me and Sharkey found 2 big sailcats in 5 ft. water between the 2 rivers. No trout. Went east further, found some boats close to Icky that were catching some so stayed in this area and managed 7 more keepers, one at 191/2'' about 3 lbs. Mostly on straight grubs in 5-6 ft. water on candycorn or chatreuse/firetail. We didn't get much on corks but the third boat went out toward the first birdrack and tore 'em up on cajun thunders and candycorn. We quit at 3:30, tired and ready for a hot meat at Fallin's BBQ in T'ville. Oh yeah, we got 2 cutoffs out there so the Spanish and blues are getting plentiful now. Got one small blue and 2 big ladyfish. Few pins.
Overall, a great day with friends, Dad and most importantly my wonderful wife. Thanks, baby.

I was there...and one of the boats Reb mentioned. It was good.
Ithink when they're biting....they're biting all over the place....not everywhere mind you....but a lots of places. When they aren't biting....move.
We were about 8 miles apart...when the afternoon bite started...it was as good in the rock garden as over at the bird racks.
We got a good year group of small trout. We must have caught close to 50 shorts...and as usual....got nine keepers and like to have never caught that last one.

It was all DixieReb's fault that I caught that LadyFish. He said "Aint it about time you caught a LadyFish?". On the very next cast guess what I brought in? 
Nevertheless we had a great day on the water and are already planning our next adventure. Got to go restock my tackle box. We could open our own tackle store. 
It is great to know that he still likes being around me even though I think it is because I really know how to work a dip net.

I'd rather have a bad day on the water than a good day at work!!
