I assume that you would've went North if you could have.
Not a bad day one the water if you were sight seeing. Glad you got out there.

Those crabs could have been easily caught. They were frozen.birddog wrote:Ya'll couldn't catch those crabs?
There was nothing moving out there. What reds we saw were gone as soon as we saw them. Never saw a trout. The birds weren't moving. We never saw a mullet. It was dead out there.
Enjoyed the ride, BH. I'll tag along any time.
What was I supposed to do today?

Call it a quota and add it up to capital for next time.
THANKS for the report. Barhopr mans up.
Actually listening to what other people say is worth the effort.

Re: St. Joe 2.28.08
I was down that way on the 1st, did good on reds in the canal, then hooked a good fish on the cape side late in the after noon on my fly rod while learning how to cast. He schooled me and got off. Saw 6 of them, all of them were upper slot fish. (first post)
