Met Reelbad and Capital City Will at the ramp at 7a.m.
20mph winds out of the N.E. and dark overcast skies.
The plan was to fish behind the island.3 foot seas coming down the bay kept us near 98.
Not a single bite for 3 and 1/2 hours and the wind seemed to lay down.
We decided to cross the bay to the island.
Half way across the seas picked back up to 3 feet.
We finally made it across and went to our hole looking for upper-slot trout.
We found plenty of white trout all under 4 pounds.
We were scouting for specs for the Seatrout Shootout in 2 weeks.
Went down the backside of the island to another hole and got on some good fish on topwater.
Although the fish came unglued we found them.
We were about to make a second drift when the Coast Guard Zodiac contingent pulled alongside to board us.
After checking the paper work and every crack and crevice they gave Captain Reelbad a go ahead.
While being detained our fish departed for someplace else.
We fished on down and around to find no more fish.
By 5 p.m. the wind died down to a fishable condition.
We left.

Coast Guard or FWC Steve?

CG departed from the cutter Seahawk in the middle of the bay.

Pffttttt, I did better than that and I don't fish anymore.

I saw those lies you wrote.
Where did you go? Hmmmm??

To the flats...east.

Well that's just what me need here in Franklin County. Must have been a training weekend.

Have not fished Carebelle area before, but wanting to give a try. Thanks for report JT.

There are no fish to be caught in the Carrabelle area. I hear Keaton Beach is the place to go.
