FINALLY THE OLD MAN GOT TO GO FISHIN TO THE GULF AGAIN. ROY JONES , WAYNE FINCHER AND MYSELF MADE A TRIP TO ECONFINA TUES MORNING. WE WERE ON THE WATER BEFORE DAYBREAK, VERY LOW WATER AT THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER, WE JUST EASED OUT TIL WE GOT TO 18" OF WATER. WE WENT EAST A BIT PAST THE TRIPOD AND STARTED FISHING. AFTER ABOUT 15 MIN. I CAUGHT A NICE TROUT, INTO THE BOX, A FEW MIN. LATER ROY CAUGHT A KEEPER TROUT. IT WASN'T TILL ABOUT 1:30 THAT WAYNE CAUGHT HIS TROUT, AND WHAT A TROUT IT WAS, 24 " LONG. WE ENDED UP THE DAY FOR THE THREE OF US CAUGHT A TOTAL OF 15 TROUT WITH 6 NICE KEEPERS. THAT ONE TROUT WAYNE CAUGHT WOULD WEIGH AS MUCH AS THE OTHER 5 PUT TOGETHER.. THERE WERE 3 OTHER BOATS FROM CAIRO OUT AT THE SAME TIME WE WERE AND THEY ALL GOT A MESS OF TROUT AND REDS. PAUL DAY AND HIS WIFE LIMITED OUT ON TROUT FOR THE BOTH OF THEM, GERALD MCCLENNY AND JAMES SKEEN DID ALRIGHT, I BELIEVE THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD 6 KEEPERS, THEY DID NOT SAY HOW MANY CATFISH THEY CAUGHT BUT JAMES SAID HE DID NOT WANT TO SEE ANOTHER CATFISH. MR BELL AND HIS WIFE CAUGHT TROUT BUT THEY DID NOT SAY HOW MANY, AT LEAST I DID NOT ASK.
IT WAS GREAT TO FIND OUT THAT I CAN STILL GET OUT ON THE GULF AND FISH WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, JUST TAKES A LITTLE LONGER TO (GETTER DONE)

That's the way to do it. Nice catch.

WTG. Pa. Glad ya finally caught some good fish. East of the river seems to be a good area now, I was down there 2 wks. ago and that's where we found 'em.

NICE JOB EARL... can't beat experience when it comes to put'n fish in the box! (I was sow'n rye grass seed )

HEY BUD, YA TOO OLD TO BE PUTTIN OUT SEED THAT WILL TAKE 20 DAYS TO COME UP. MY DOC TOLD ME NOT TO BUY ANY GREEN BANANAS DIDN'T THINK I WOULD LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO EAT THEM WHEN THEY RIPENED, THAT WAS 40 YEARS AGO. YEA BUD IT WAS GREAT TO GET BACK OUT ON THE GULF AND CATCH SOME FISH.

DAG GUMMIT GERALD, I AM SORRY ABOUT THE WRONG NAME, I HAD JERRELL MCCLENNY ON MY MIND, WHICH IT IS VERY LITTLE LEFT, THE GERALD IN MY LAST REPORT SHOULD HAVE BEEN GERALD VANBRUNT THAT WAS FISHING WITH JAMES SKEEN AND NOT GERALD MACCLENNY. SORRY ABOUT THAT GERALD.
