St Mark's LH 4/13
Posted: April 16th, 2007, 11:35 am
Went with finniefish by the LH Friday
Drifted WSW on west flats 8-1130am and caught lots of small trout, 15 w/ 2 keepers caught on jighead under CT, one caught on shrimp under CT, ... also picked up spanish under CT
Nothing was hitting past the pole line although we did see a small school of spanish and got another one under a CT
Stuck with east side of west flats for most of AM
Trolled a spoon going N and caught a blue and spanish in 3-5'
Decided to try east flats around 1130 and caught 2 small trout
Lots of pinfish bites over there
I think we should have used top water and worked jigs off the bottom for more keepers
Anyways... dead tide around 12:15 so trolled out by the bird rack
Went east in about 10'-12' and pick up another spanish
Lots of bait near the birdrack so casted in but nothing hitting
We did see a huge sea turtle - no cobia though
Trolled around rack area and picked up another blue
Called it around 1:30
Overall was a good day
17 trout (2 keepers 16&17)
4 spanish (16-18 range)
and 3 blues
