St. Joe Bay 7/1-7/8

Post by **birddog** » July 8th, 2006, 8:49 pm

Trout fishing was great the 1 st of the week. Caught double and triple limits of trout in the 18"-26" range until Tuesday. Struggled the rest of the week. I blame it on the absence of water, lack of tide, and acres of floating grass

. Caught 'em on topwater, hard/soft jerkbaits and jigs.

The fishing guides on the Bay seem to be doing well using live bait in holes/channels.

The lack of water shut down my redfishing. Only managed 3 all week. I guess I should have looked at a tide chart before scheduling a vacation.

Can't wait til next time.

Thanks for the report.

Double and triple limits of 18" - 26" trout is pretty dadgum good.

Sounds like you just used up all your luck those first couple of days.

Good job. A week of fishing is worth 12 weeks of work.
