St Marks 11/15

Got out before the cold snap with a few buddies today. In shorts on Nov 15 - go figure.

Nice rise and a south wind really pushed the water in. Had one red blow up on Top on the flats and a few shorts. But, we were waiting for water to go in. Caught 4 reds on the rise and lost 3 really nice reds. The fall was better catching 10 or so. Ended up with 18 reds and a lot of fun! Saw 2 nice gators, one 9 and one 10'

Almost all were caught on spoons, a few on topwater. They were everywhere we looked for them.

Wonder if I can put my shorts away now

Good deal, Reel Slow. Only going once a week is almost like not getting to go anymore.

RS,
We got several good trout with the reds, everything was about 100 yds. from the grass and took live shrimp, pins. The wind made it hard to stay on a drift. Dad got a big sheephead on shrimp.
