St Joe 9/30/06

Post by Eerman »

Hit the water about 7:30 and as Chalk stated earlier, a pretty stiff breeze. Headed the southwest. Had trouble keeping the ladyfish and small blues off long enough to find anything else. Switched tackle and started picking up small trout. Made a move and found some bigger trout.

Pulled several cookie cutters this size (right around 20"). Saw some bigguns mixed him with them; but, never hooked into one. Was getting time to go and decided to make one more move. Glad I did redfishes everywhere. They were kind of spooky. Managed two...one small and this one at about 25".
Image

By this time, had to get going. A fine day on the water. Finally tally was around 15 trout, 2 reds, a bunch of ladyfish and blues, too many stupid lizardfish to count, and a flounder. Also saw more sheepshead than I think I've ever seen.

Exactly what I was thinkin' when I was reading Noles report. I bet his flyrod would have put a whoopin' on them. Flyrod in my hand would have served to place a hook in my ear :wink:

Oh My! :o Based on rule #24
The Tournament Director may implement additional tournament specific rules and restrictions for individual tournaments. Entrants are responsible for understanding rules for each tournament

I think I sense an "additional specific rule" coming from the Tournament Director....."entrants who prefish a tournament location more than twice prior to a tournament shall be disqualified" :lol:
"Good Judgement" comes from experience, ... and a lot of that..... results from "Bad Judgement".
