Spring Creek 4/9
Posted: April 9th, 2004, 2:18 pm
Not much to report, but I know some of you like to hear the good and the bad.....
They (my dad +2) trolled every lure in the box for several hours around the Spring Creek reef without a single hit. Stopped to eat lunch and threw out live shrimp under a CT. Within thirty minutes they had boated 4 keeper mackerel and 1 keeper trout. Said they were in 4-5 feet when they caught the fish. Got cut off by a couple too. Tried trolling some more with no luck. Bite shut down and haven't caught a single fish since.
They're headed back in now to try the shallower water closer to the mouth of the river.
Said the water was smooth as glass up until about an hour ago. Wind is starting to pick up now and the water is getting a slight chop.
Said they'll be fishing east, over towards the St. Marks light house tomorrow.

The ladies started getiing seasick and the fish just where not biting 
They tuffed it out for 2 1/2 hours but with no fish "except one short Spanish" and the wind increasing, we went home 
Still, time on the water and with two of my favorite girls 
it just don't get much better 
I wish we could have gottin out there earlier and got some of them fish though 
Keep them reports a comin in
