We had a family trip to the Ochlocknee River this weekend. I managed to sneak off for a couple of hours Saturday morning. We fished up Bear Creek (S. of State Park). The tide was at slack low around 8:30 and there wasn't much of anything happening. I beat the banks with a gold spoon and finally switched to a gulp shrimp. Ended up with one really nice 26" red and a short flounder. The redfish fed 6 adults for dinner that evening. We were off the water by 10:30AM. To avoid being acused of a "self back patting glory hog" I let my sister in law hold the fish for a picture (figured ya'll would like that better than my face anyway)

Got to enjoy some family time and a beautiful sunset on the river Saturday evening.



Sunday on the way home I met up with some friends and hit St. Marks. We got on the water at the Light House about 1:00 and headed west. The action was fast and furious for about an hour. Tide was high and stayed high with the south wind. We fished the shore line and boated 4 reds pretty quickly. We were catching trout off one side of the boat and reds off the other. The action turned off around 3:00 and we were headed home by 4:30. Everything in less than 4' and caught on gulps. Total for the day. 4 reds (18" - 26"), ~10 trout (3 keepers), some catfish and a 10" grouper.

Hope you married her sister.

Wow. Thats all I have to say. Wow.

Believe it or not, I got the better one

dang nice shots, what kinda camera were you using> you do any color editing or is that right off the card?

I use a Nikon D50 with a 18-70 and a 70-300 lense. That is mostly right off the card. I did a little cropping and sharpening, but no color change.

At $894 it better catch and clean my fish as well as wash the boat.

BTW, good trip SW4Me, looks like a blast.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Good family weekend. Nice pics.

I can't help but note that this post is getting a lot of views.....

The sunset photo looks cool- its just little.

I think it is due to the great resolution of the photos Wouldn't it be cool to have a set of Maui Jims that could do that

At my age, it would be cool just to be able to see.

We need her for a record rack seminar at SGO.

Do they have another sister looking for a little BAD BEHAVIOR???

I bought a D50 last year off eBay with 2 lenses(Tamron) for around $650. I've had alot of fun with it. Was the pic of your SIL taken with the larger lense? I have some great photos of my kids that look like that, with the background blury, using the larger lense.

I'll never take your word on that.
