Saint Marks 11-14-09

Made a quick trip out Saturday afternoon after sitting in the deer stand that morning. The woods were unproductive and with the warm air coming in the afternoon, I wasn't feeling like sitting again in the afternoon. We got gear loaded up and started heading to Saint Marks.
Made it out the river and thought about heading to Rotary, but there were a bunch of boats on it as I expected. Ran a little further South to some other numbers I had. Marked bottom. Anchored. Dove. At times, you could see the end of the speargun. Others, not so much.
Figured it would have been a little murked up, but not as bad as it turned out to be. Only even saw one fish worth shooting, but evidently fish can see better than me in that visibility and he was gone. 
Came up and dropped some stretches. Caught a barely legal gag and headed back in. Watched a gorgeous sunset as we were returning.
Even without lots of fish, it was still nice to be on the water. Hopefully the waters will settle out soon for some good diving.
