[/img]Took the girlfriend (for her third trip ever) to Ecky and was looking forward to a day of changing two rods lures, taking off both of our fish, untangling backlashes,etc,etc. Got there at eight( she made me late ) by twelve didnt have a fish on the boat. I had met my buddy down there and agreed to follow him around and fish some of his new numbers. To his credit, he just got his boat and just started fishing Ecky. Actually, he was fishing Aucilla but anyhow, when I was in ten feet of water over a solid sandy bottom, I picked up the mic and said I was heading back to my home waters more or less. I told him if he would like to catch some fish, crank up and try to keep up. Anyways, an hour and a half later we were both limited on trout and they headed for the hill. I told my sweetie lets go try one of my flounder holes. We pick up a couple of shorts and two keepers but the action is slow so we head to try and find a cobe. We pull up to the floating structure everybody just runs by and an hour later we have caught seven cobes, the biggest about 30". We decided by this time it was time to go find some copperbacks. We fished around and landed nine or ten reds but none legal. Enjoyed a beautiful Ecky sunset and headed for the hill. All in all a great day!!! However, in the excitement of my gals first ever Cobia, I had to watch my favorite rod find a new saltwater home. Just a word of advice, never under any circumstance sit your rod on top of the t-top and expect it to stay!!!! The biggest trout was 22.5, no tourney winners but I can claim a handicap!!!!!

Good trip, Jay.

Get some flippers and a mask...good investment...

Great string of stringers BB

Ya done good.

Nice

Ten in a row, now your just bragging. I need to follow you around.

Handicap my butt you got to fish with eye candy as a hood ornament.

I fished my ugly friend and his goofy kid I still had to bait hooks untangle rods take out wind knots wrestle a 3 foot black tip and find fish.

Clean them stow the gear and take a ration of crap about not wanting them to lay rods on the floor of the boat while dancing the jig.

I ain't talking about anything kinky you want to swap?

Sounds like you had a good day to me.

Thanks guys, and W-A-M, Ill stick with her, at least she does as shes told!! If I decided I did want something a little kinky shes much more of an option !

Aj likes it kinky

DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO TRY THOSE GREEN GULPS, I THINK I LIKE THEM BETTER THAN THE NEW PENNY. MY TROUT SPOTS ARE STILL LACKING. CAUGHT TEN REDS AND ONE LOST TROUT WAY BACK UP IN A CREEK. ALL ON THAT GREEN GULP AND THAT FUNNY JIG HEAD WORKED VERY WELL; HOWEVER, I WOULDN'T HORSE ONE IN. THAT HOOK TENDS TO BEND A LITTLE BIT. BIGGEST RED WAS 25".

I DIDNT GET PAST LONG POINT LIKE WE DISCUSSED.

What name color on the green gulps?

Great day BB
