After a miserable showing at the NFGFC tourney last week I decided I didn't want my last trip to St. Joe for the year to be a bad one. We ended with five trout and a few flounder but those were some of the toughest 5 fish to coax. Tourney day we fished from Blacks to Windmark with alot of big hits on topwater but no hookups. Today I decided to head to an area of the bay I never had fished before and get a feel for some new water. We fished in less than two feet all day throwing topwater mainly, mixed in with a few DOA's and other soft plastics. Finished our limit of trout by 10:00 with our biggest fish being 24". LOST A 30" TROUT!!!!!!!!

After finishing out the limit of trout we started chasing reds. A few strikes into the drift I had a 24" Red slam my DOA I had on my ultralight Sienna 1000. Fought the fish for about 10 minutes and after a long series of chasing it down we finally got it in the boat.
With the wind being so calm today we were able to see around 20-30 yards out from the boat clearly. We saw dozens of trout over 20" and around 18,844,940,340 mullet around everywhere. Overall a great day and very relaxing to go out fishing without worrying about going up to Athens the next day.
