St. Marks 02/18

Post by **Chalk** » February 19th, 2006, 9:13 am

After the fishing excursion the day before getting up early this morning was greatly anticipated and easy. We head to Savannahâ€™s hoping for a good meal and some harassment from Jumptrout51, we received bothâ€¦even Sir reel and Eerman showed for some fine food and fellowship.

Paid my dues, got in the big fish pot and off we go...hoping the hordes of mullet, trout and redfish were still in the creek that we were in yesterday. We launch at the lighthouse pool at 6:45 and take off hoping the back door had enough water for us to make it into our creekâ€¦. We make it all the way to our spot until Tin can cuts it in a little too much to the left and we go from 20 to 0 in about 3.5 secondsâ€¦ Shoes off, pants rolled up, out the boatâ€¦.We make it to the channel and to the first holeâ€¦

As we make our way to our second hole, we hear this boat scratching and clawing itâ€™s way near us to the westâ€¦. we were working our way to hole number three when wouldnâ€™t you know itâ€¦Dang olâ€™ Jumptrout51 and Butch come sneaking through the saw grass on top of hole number threeâ€¦

I told tin can he shouldnâ€™t of taken Jumptrout51 fishing with him the other day, it was obvious that he installed a tracking device on the â€œredcrossâ€

Champs again. Great job. The development of the story worked great too. I was sure the day ended with little or nothing. I also thought TC lost the big fish.
Very nice.

The majority of the preceding account of yesterday's trip is mostly true.

I suppose I've gotta spend some time finding that tracking device JT hid in my boat.

Partner, thanks again for another chapter in the exciting, continuing saga of Chalk and TC's big adventure.

Chalk said a 26 1/2 inch red.
Let's just say they were lucky not to be checked by the man and NFGFC has lax measurement rules.

I'm just glad you made the rule.

How come the Saturday red looks so much like the friday red?

Post by **tin can** » February 19th, 2006, 10:51 am

They all look alike.

Now we are stereotyping Redfish!!

JT, you and Butch obviously knew more about the creek than we did. We watched the two of you catch more fish in an hour than we caught all day. We just happened to get 1 lucky bite.

Maybe they should of hit hole number one before we did....
