Mr Keels and I hit the Aucilla for the NFGFC tourney trying to redeem ourselves for the day before (we're not even going there). Plan was to get our fish and get out before the tide completely fell out. Got to love it when a plan comes together . Luckily Tom had me on board, cause somebody needed to catch some fish we could keep. Tom forgot that we could only weigh in one fish over 20" and then proceeded to put on a clinic on how to catch big trout. I think his final tally was 6 trout +20". In the meantime, I managed a few keeper trout. Tom finally decided to come down to my level and started adding keeper fish. We ended the day by 11. We had thrown back at least 3 limits of fish. We had 8 in the box with the smallest being about 18.5". The biggest at about 23" and FAT (Tom caught it but I had to point it out to him ). Tom added a couple of reds and a flounder. Best trout day I've ever seen. Thanks to Tom for a great day and a great game plan. Wish we had taken some pictures but we were busy.

Nothing that a new prop, a little skeg work, a skeg guard, and a new rim and trailer tire won't fix. Why didn't somebody tell us that there were rocks in these parts?

I suppose we should have warned you that Keels is the very best at tearing up other folks' stuff.

Actually about three rocks, none bigger than a basketball, in a pretty little line...or they were in a pretty little line until we moved them for you guys.

"Good Judgement" comes from experience, ... and a lot of that..... results from "Bad Judgement".

Ouch! Where were you?
Did you really loose a tire/wheel on your trailer as well?

No coordinates...in west pass, maybe half way up...pretty much dead center. Yeah really lost a tire and rim too. The drop off cut the tire and bent the rim. That's why God invented spares.
