THE TWO OLD MEN OF THE SEA LAUNCHED THE BARGE THIS MORNIN AT 6:30, 9-8-06. WIND WAS OUT OF THE N.W. AT ABOUT 15-20, WATER TEMP WAS 84. WE WORKED AROUND THE MOUTH OF THE CANAL FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE POOL AND DID NOT GET A STRIKE. WE WERE ABOUT 2 HOURS FROM LOW AND THERE WAS WATER UP TO THE GRASS ON THE CANAL. THE WIND WAS SUPPOSE TO BE OUT OF THE N,E. TO E 5-10, IT NEVER GOT BELOW 10-15 ALL DAY. THUNDER TO THE EAST AND SOUTH BUT IT NEVER RAINED ON US. SUN DID NOT SHOW UNTILL ABOUT 11 A.M.
WE CAUGHT NEARLY EVERY FISH I HAVE EVER CAUGHT ON THE FLATS IN THE MANY YEARS I HAVE BEEN FISHING THERE. WE CAUGHT A TOTAL OF 17 TROUT WITH 3 16-16 1/2 ", 5 CATFISH HARDHEADS, 15-20 SHARKS 12-18", 5 LADIES, 1 ROCK BASS, LOSS COUNT ON THE SMALL BLUES 6-8", 1 ROCK BASS, 1 NEEDLE FISH, 1 SMALL GROUPA, 1 BLOW FISH, 1 TIGERFISH, 5 PINFISH, 1 SPANISH, AND LOST A CHUG BUG TO A BIG RED.
IT WAS CLOUDY ALL DAY, WIND BLOWIN OUT OF THE N.E. TO E. 10-15 ALL DAY, GOT A LITTLE CHILLY FIRST THING THIS MORNIN BUT WARMED UP NICELY.
BOTH OF OUR WRIST WERE WORE SLAP OUT BY THE TIME IT WAS NOON. WE CAST TOPWATER MIRROLURES, YOZURI, DALTON SPECIAL, SPOOKS, DEVIL HORSE, REDFIN DIVER, BOMBER FLOATER, D.O.A. SHRIMP, SWA ALL COLORS, SPOONS, BUZZ BAIT, MANN CHUGGER,AND
CARL USED SOME CUT BAIT. ALL OFF THE HARDHEADS AND SHARKS WERE CAUGHT ON THE CUT BAIT.
STILL CAN NOT FIGURE WHERE ALL THE TROUT HAVE GONE, YA SUPPOSE THEY HAVE NETTED ALL OF THEM.
IT WAS GOOD TO BE ABLE TO FISH WITH MY OLD FRIEND CARL.
WE WILL TRY IT AGAIN NEXT WEEK IF WE ARE STILL ALIVE.

PA THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA

Sounds like a good trip! If you decide to adopt anyone from outside Thomas County, put me on the list

Futch I have recieved no message on here. E-mail I am going to have a new address.

Would like to go to Aucilla in yore big boat and take my fishing buddy who has never fished the flats afore.

My other flats fishing fool buddy caught 19 keepers fishing in the tourny on sunday.

Aucilla is hot.

HEY MAN, I DO NOT TAKE MY BOAT OUT OF AUCILLA, THE LAST TIME I WENT THERE COST ME $1,200.OO FOR A USED FOOT ASSEMBLY. I WAS FOLLOWING A GPS ROUTE THAT I HAD BEEN USING FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS, ON THE WAY BACK IN , JUST SOUTH OF THE ISLAND I HIT A ROCK AND LOST IT ALL, IT IS JUST A SHORT RUN FROM ECONFINA TO GET BACK OVER IN THE AUCILLA AREA, I DO STILL GO OUT OF ECONFINA. MAYBE WE CAN GET TOGETHER IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AND GIVE IT A SHOT. I AM TIED UP FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS WITH OTHER COMMITMENTS.
