St. Marks east of Lighthouse 4/13 (pics added)

Post by jmlockwood »

A good friend of mine was in town and wanted to catch some fish so we rented a pair of kayaks and headed to the Lighthouse. We put about 9:15 and headed east. The first creek was tried only yielded a couple of small trout. We paddled a little further to one of my favorite creeks and found a SIGNIFICANT school of reds moving back and forth around a bend and through a "deepish" hole. My buddy was fishing with shrimp and starting pulling in one slot red after another. I was tossing a spoon and could them to chase it but not real solid strikes. I finally decided it was no fair to let him have all the fun so I switched over to shrimp and started dragging in fish myself. We ended up with two nice keepers and at least 20 that we threw back (at least 75 percent were slot sized fish).

This was the average size fish we caught.

Good times! We couldn't get the reds to bite too much Sunday, but we didn't head way up any creeks either. Made a half-arse attempt but gave up quickly figuring it was pointless with the slack tide. Sometimes though, they just want that shrimp. Any time I plan a red huntin trip I try to at least bring a bag or two of dead ones just in case.

Thanks for the report and looks like y'all had a pretty good day :thumbup: :thumbup:
