It was a tough day for sure. We fished the Aucilla. Started out traveling thru the cut from the river and fished the creeks for the first part of the morning. Picked up a couple small reds in the creek and decided we needed to start looking for trout. Fished the shallow flats in front of the creek and picked up two trout but it was slowwwww. Moved over to the bars at the mouth of the river and caught a few more. Only caught 6 keeper trout the whole day. Got the winning flounder in the river on the way back. Saw some mullet and we started casting, I hooked that baby flounder and we laughed about it being the winning fish!! We did have a nice trout throw the hook at the boat, I think it would have put us in the race for third...

There was only one other boat near my partner and I until 10 a.m. After that we were the only boat within 5 miles in any direction. Only got a little drizzle rain for a couple hours and minimal wind.
We were fortunate enough to be able to cull keeper fish most of the day.
Did not have a strong bite,but still managed about 3 fish per hour including several over 20 that were released.
All our fish came on hook and line.
