St. Marks 11-24-2006

Post by Tom Keels »

Left the fort at 7 with my paw in law and my daughter. Air was cool, water was cold. River out to my first trolling spot was 54-56°. Trolled shallow at a couple of spots and managed one break off and 1 rock bass. Ran out to Marker 24 area on flat seas and put 3 in the box pretty quick. All looked like the same fish, 26" and fat. Here is the first...

Ended with 3 gags and 4 big rock bass. Chrome and blue stretch was the ticket on the gags. Blue fire tiger CD14 on the rock bass. Good day. On the trailer at 1. Water temp offshore was 60°. Not much grass, water was clear.

It was a pretty day. Glad to see you're taking you daughter fishing :thumbup: . You might want to see if Santa can bring her some front teeth :-D .

My youngest has the teeth, he just needs braces now to line 'em up. :smt009

Nice job there. I trolled a few miles north of there on Thursday. Weather/water were unreal but the fish didn't cooperate. Headed for the turkey fryer around 12:30.

Very nice Tom. You’re a lucky dog. Any time you can get your children out there it’s a good day.

Great photo. I love those on-the-water shots.
