Made it back to salt water again, didn't put in til 10:30 due early low tide. Wind started blowing right off, A little choppy but not too bad. Fished toward Econfina around some bars, got 2 small trout and a cat, so moved to another spot and on the end of the bar, reds and blues were everywhere.

Got 3 keeper reds to 22'', 3 short reds and 5 of the biggest blues I have seen in a long time. A big blue on topwater is awesome!!

One of them had all 3 trebles of my redfin and crunched down so hard I cut the lure off , iced him and got my lure on the cleaning table. Tide was high at 12:30, water got still and we wanted some trout so went hunting. Ran over to the rock garden and got 2 big trout to 20'' on greenback redfins. Had to leave the spot due falling tide and lotsa mines under boat so went back toward Aucilla in 4-5 ft. water and found some more trout. They seemed to like white gulp fished straight and new penney under a CT rig. Don't know why, that's just how it worked out today. And the closer in we came the smaller the fish. Had quite a few shorts, some to 14.75''. Ended up with 6 big trout, 4 big blues, and 3 reds. Dad had to be back in Moultrie before seven pm so we quit at 4 pm. The wind really picked up about then and tide falling fast so it was time to go anyway. Tired now but can't wait il next time.

Yeah it was nice today. I caught 9-10 reds, 1 trout, and lost another GOOD trout right at the boat.
I even caught a rock bass and while removing my grub I noticed he had one that he had swallowed so I removed it too. It was a chartruse jig head with a fresh Gulp still on it. After I lost the grub I was fishing I slid that "new" Gulp on and caught some two more fish. Talk about recycling

Yall done good DixieReb

. Wish I could have gotten there earlier, I was only there for a couple hours. It was slick when I got there, but the wind picked up pretty good around 3:00 or so.

I forgot to mention the big fish I hung that tried to spool me, don't know what he was but guessing a cobia. A cobe was stalking Dad's topwater plug and we could see him. I threw behind him and got the hookup. I couldn't turn the fish or anything, he just ran like a train. Too much spool pressure finally broke him off. Should have followed him but I didn't.

oh, well.
