Had 2 boats to do today and my buddy Raymond wanting to go fishing. So, the plan was the leave at 5:30am, fish, then work. Got down to Econfina at 7:00am and it was FREEZING
We ran out to a quick creek where we found trout last week. 25 minutes later, we had our 2 man limit
We stayed in this spot till 10:00am catching and releasing over 50 keeper size trout with a handful over 20"
Most were in the 15"-18" range. The trout bit jigs fished slooooooooowwwwww along the bottom. Water temp was 47.5 when we got there and 58 when we left. Not much water movement this morning but the fish still bit well. No reds.....didn't even see one
Still got all my work done and even got paid
Nice day both on and off the water.....
No pics 'cause it was too dang cold to fool with a camera.
Can't wait till this weekend

I just spent 20 minutes typing you a PM and lost it some how. The short version is "What do you do to a boat?" Check my posts and pic under "what's your rig" to see if I could maybe use your services to get me ready to fish. I enjoy reading your post. Thanks.

Many thanks....I love skinny!
There's just something heartwarming hearing the hull scrape across those oyster bars!
Remember the song..."thank God for Greyhound she's gone"....we'll mine is "thank goodness for the 4" of kelvar on the bottom of the mudboat"!
