This mornings forecasts called for good conditions except for the chill in the air. I was hoping to find some tailing fish early on before the tide and wind would pick up like I did last week. I brought along my good friend Will who will be heading off to the Marines after were done at FSU hoping that I could get him on some decent fish in shallow water. I began poling from my cooler and it wasn't long after found a pair of fish that were wakin' close together, we both led them by a couple yards with DOA red glitter shrimp and a terror-eyez. Unfortunately, only one ate my DOA shrimp. It was an awesome bite, that fish's back came out of the water to feed.

Here's Will and the perfect conditions:

As soon as the tide really started kicking, we started to look for some trout in the deep troughs with top water Orange and Black Spook Jr. & Gulp Skrimp. Saw some trout working finger mullet, and like Emeril says "Bam" two fat trout both around 17 and 18. It was a good day out there with my buddy Will and I hope he kicks Taliban tail in the Corps and some good blackened trout sandwhiches for lunch. Today was way better than going to class.

Good report, and glad you took time to give the future Marine some R&R.

Nothing is better than skipping class to fish. I take that back, skipping work is a little more fulfilling.

Anyone know what pushes wake at a solid 3 or 4 knots in a straight line in less than a foot of water?

Nice day on the water! I wish I could skip school and fish but this last week has got me tied up. By the way I think me and u park in the same lot across from FSU. Do u park in the gravel church lot? I drive a green ford f-150 four door with a Hewes sticker on the back.

Was that a hobbit that took a picture of those trout?

What a pretty looking morning!

Good day for spring fever to kick in..... when you teach you get to skip both work and school to fish!!

Youre the Frodo doosh

Very nice!

Headed down in the morning to try and sell them some of the lures I have.

Nice report. I guess I'm gonna have to try skipping work to go myself before too long.

Another cool picture from the skinny:
