Aucilla 7/22

Post by rocket »

Well I was awaiting a ridiculing report from Fish Masterson, but I believe the heat got to him today, and he's not going to report.
We launched my boat around 7 a.m., and headed for some rocks. We found a hefty school of reds, and he put two in the boat right away. The larger of the two was 26". :roll:
I "released" a 18-19" red boat side, anticipating a larger fish to be had.
Moved to another rock pile however nothing more than some good strikes.
Headed to secret creek #1, and I think FM might have boated one or two more legal reds. I proceeded to place the boat in a "holding" pattern :-D while I re-rigged a rod. At this point my counter part used the phrase "just plain rude" of how the boat was positioned :-D. I boated a flounder that would have been perfect eating size filleted on a cracker.
We moved to secret creek #2, and it was alive with fish, however by this time they did not want to eat. Mullet, and redfish everywhere! You never have the cast net when you need it. I saw many a redfish, some 30"ers. They just wouldn't bite. :smt013
With little to no wind, it got hot, and I think the bite shut down with the heat. We were back to the hill around 12:30ish.
Threw hard jerk baits, jigs, spoons, and twitch baits.

Rocket, If you'll give me the numbers to the mouth of secret creek, I'd be willing to go spend my time figuring out what those reds are willing to hit, and report back to ya. :wink:
What was I supposed to do today?

Getting off (now there's an idea) the water at midday was smart. Just gets hotter in the PM. Good report.. :D
