St. Marks 7/2

Me and Fisherman 989 went out of Aucilla this morning trying for trout. Greeted at the mouth by 2 footers, we carefully tried over to the east and found nothing. Went over to the rock garden area an hour later, took 45 minutes running slow in the rough water. Set up a drift in 4 ft. and got several shorts, 2 keepers. Stayed in the same area all day and ended up with 7 good trout to 18''. Had the 8th one in the boat minus 5'' of his tail thanks to a hungry shark. Got them on white/firetail grubs and live pinfish. The live pins got the most fish, some when it first hit the water. Quit at 2:30 pm with storm clouds headed our way from inshore. Made it out without getting rained on, rained all the way to Georgia.
Felt good to find some good fish.

DR, Good deal to make the trip worth it. Got the boat rinsed too.

Good job DR. I assume those "two footers" were waves and not trout!

But I thought it was supposed to be "smooth" today! Uh oh. I hope it won't be that way tomorrow morning: I am trying to take the 13'er to Dog Is. tomorrow.....
