St. Marks 8/19/05

Post by birddog »

A good friend and I launched from the lighthouse at daylight this morning. We headed west and shortly set up a drift in some 4' water adjacent to some 9' water. Landed 4 trout (18"-21") on topwater baits.

Eased into some redfish water as the tide began to rise. We had opportunities at 12 redfish and were able to land 5 from 25"-34". Caught half on topwater and half on spoon and spinnerbaits. We left them biting when we headed in at 1:00 p.m.

Great morning but a little warm. Can't wait until next time.

Nice report birddog. :thumbup: I'm usually not brave enough to slide around the skinny water around St. Marks but the reports from you and tincan are making me rethink things.

Thanks birddog - we're headin' down there tomorrow AM with my brother. Last time I took him saltwater fishing, we were stuck on the shore and he got skunked. Hopefully we can get him some trout or reds! Gonna try every trick I know. Thanks for the info :thumbup: :thumbup:
