St. Marks 3/6/06

Post by birddog »

The trout are indeed on the flats. We fished the creeks and shallow flats east of the LH. Caught trout in the creeks but most came off the flats. The largest trout was 26". :o Caught'em on hard jerkbaits and soft plastics. Also picked up 3 reds. Though the redfish seemed a little scarce.

On the flats the trout were holding in <2' of water with a spotty bottom. The best bite seemed to occur just as the tide began to rise.

Total for the day:
17 trout (17"-26")
3 reds (16"-21")
1- 16" flounder
lots of wind

Can't wait til next time. 8) :thumbup:

Wow. Great Report. :thumbup:
A 30 is out there somewhere.
Wondering, WHY! such a difference between the many poor reports from Sat-Sun and then what you got Monday? The same thing happened from one day to the next last week. If had a little more time to study it closer I'd compare/contrast fish variables between Sun to Mon this week & Wed to Thur last week. (air temp & change, tide range, wind speed-shift-direction & change in direction, water temp & change in temp, and...)
The only way to do all that is to fish almost everyday & keep really good notes. Sure, I wish I had more time.

Some guys are just better fishermen. I'd say that has as much to do with it as all the other variables. I don't mean one is better with a rod and reel. Knowing where to go look for them. Birddog seems to be one of those from reading his reports. Jumptrout51 seems to know our coastline like the back of his hand,and he always seems to have success. Knowledge of the waters and knowing the patterns. That has a lot to do with varying reports.
