St Marks 9/25

Put in at the LH at 2:30 and caught the last 30 minutes of the Low tide. The action was pretty hot for 20 minutes - with lots of strikes and fish activity. Landed a decent trout and a ladyfish on a propellor / floating mirrolure. The ladyfish jumped at least half a dozen times. :D Once 3:00 came around somebody turned off the 'fish switch' and the bite ENDED. We left the flats and ran up the East River and got skunked. Stayed around til 5:00 and had to head home. The wind outta the South kept you scootin' along pretty good on a drift. Lots of grass. Very cloudy water.

One of these days tide patterns are gonna 'click' in my head and we won't be trying to fish the slack. :roll: :-D

I've noticed, since I started red fishing, when the tide stops, everything stops. I'm learning something every trip. Time well spent, Dave.
What was I supposed to do today?

Way to hang with it.....If your getting bit and the tide goes slack...Stay in the area, once the tide changes they will normally turn back on... :thumbup: :thumbup:
