Lanark 10/14
Posted: October 17th, 2006, 4:17 pm
Had a buddy in town from ATL this past weekend. We had planned on fishing St Joe Bay, but due to wind, and a few other factors too detailed to discuss here, we ended up at Lanark. I figured after last weekends trip that it was a pretty safe bet. Started out a little slower than last weeks action. Started seeing a few fish in 1 - 2 ft of water, but they were spooky, unlike the week before when they were practically attacking us. Funny how a 22" fish can be afraid of a 1/2" spoon fly. Anyway, finally got a couple to cooperate, and as the tide got lower, the wind laid down a little, and the fish got a little happier. Ended up with a dozen or so reds, 4 or 5 flounder, a few lizardfish, a couple ladyfish, and a bunch of pinfish. I actually saw a flounder totally clear the water chasing baitfish. I didn't even know they could jump. All reds and ladyfish were sightfished on fly (from a distance I thought the ladyfish was a red). Everything else was a casualty of war. Oh, and big props to my wife, as this all occured on the day of our wedding anniversary.
