St. Marks 12-14-06

Post by Atticus »

Stayed in the river near Folly Bar and found some sheepies working between two high points on one bar. Tide was falling taking water between these two high points at a pretty brisk pace.

Sheepies were up on top of this bar working so hard their backs were out of the water. :o At first I thought it was tailing reds.

Free-lined a scrimp with the tidal flow and C&Rd a few nice ones to 17in.

No luck on trout or reds. :hammer:

"Let her eat" on the way back to the fort. It had started raining.

Stopped to fish an old abandoned dock near marker 46. I call it "Tower Dock" on my GPS. Be careful around there -- several underwater pilings and creosote 'lay-downs' I had to go in there to get my DOA which was hung-up on an underwater piling and it looked scary.

Didn't get a water temp reading out there - forgot.

Any decent chance the Gulp shrimps would work?
