After a couple days down at St. George not doin too much fishin, I was back on the water today. Fished with one of my buddies. We met up at my house at 6:20, hit Jerry's at 7 and headed for the lighthouse. We ran straight into the stiff east wind to the hole. First cast produced a 18 inch trout for my buddy. This spot shut down soon after and we went to another, picked up an 18 inch trout myself and then we moved spots again. In the next spot I hooked up to a good trout that measured 23 inches and was successfully released. A slight move later and my friend hooks up with a really good fish. He fights it for a while and I finally net it. A 25 inch beauty of a trout, also successfully released. This is his new personal best and he's even got my personal best beat now. Before today, I'm not sure he had caught one as big as 19 inches. I pick up a sheepshead fishin on the bottom and a spanish on my bobber. The tide is really falling out now so we run to some deeper grass flats. I released a trout right at 15 and my friend got one at 16. Ended the day with 6 keeper trout(including the big ones and the barely legal one), one keeper spanish, one keeper sheepshead, 3 or 4 undersized trout, a pretty big bonnethead, and a few other catfish and ladyfish. We were done fishing by noon.
Congrats on a fantastic catch Luc and Luc's buddy.
