My buddy Fred has not been saltwater fishing in a couple of years. Earlier this week we made plans to go today. Turned out not to be the most beautiful day of the year, but we went. We launched at the fort at around 10 this morning. There was very little water. We headed up the Wakulla river to a hole I've fished before. I caught 1 pup red in the first 5 minutes we were there. Then nothing, for a while. We tried several holes, and on the way back down river, stopped at the hole we started at, and caught 2 more pups. About 2:00 I pointed the boat down the river, ran past the lighthouse, and hung a left. As soon as we stopped we boated 3 more pup reds. We worked the area until a little after 5:00, and managed 3 more pups, and Fred finally boated a 19" red.

Te wind was out of the south at 5 to 10, and the water temp was 67 degrees today. It was so foggy I couldn't wear my glasses. They kept fogging up.Fred got a good laugh out of this blind old man trying to tie baits today.

Today was one of those days that you don't feel like you did very good. But at the end of the day we had boated 10 reds, even if they were small. It sure beat sittin at the house.

At least you got to go and you had a few to come over the rail. Sounds like a good day

No doubt about it. Thats a good day in my book. Glad you got out there.

Would've like to have seen some pictures of the fog though.

I attempted a picture. As soon as I pulled the camera out, the lens and the LCD fogged up.

Dang

At least you found your way home.

TC I know what your talking about. Yesterday when the fog rolled in when the south wind kicked up and visibility was about 50 yards max...made for tough going.

Good bag despite conditons .

Good Deal TC-
Wish I could have been there to clean my glasses

I've started taking a pair of those safety goggles like these with me on the boat :


They fit right over your glasses, and keep your eyes from watering hat high speeds, and wipe clean with your shirt sleeve. Your glasses will stay clean. My first mate says they make me look goofy, but they do the job ...

Thanks for the report Tincan, Better than my day for sure. Woke up with a headache and the rest of the day was a wash......

Caught so many pup's ...thought he was an animal control officer

Sounds like you worked the water pretty good

I was out as well, not so lucky on the fishing however. Here are a few pics from St Marks. The landmarks sure faded quickly.

The Bass didn't do to good neither 3 shorts in four hours

Not bad for a foggy day. Thanks for the report, TC.
