Anyone fished around St Marks this week? Was going to try it this weekend and was curious if things were starting to pick up yet.

Starting to pick up? The fishing has been great there for a while. Go get em!

Are you sure about that Gary?

The refuge is once again open. The democrat ran a story on it today.

Thanks all. I am heading that way tomorrow. Will fish tomorrow afternoon, all day Saturday and Sunday morning. Hopefully I will be able to post a good report on Monday.

Fished Friday afternoon on the west flats. Water was still a little stained but still managed 2 trout at 19 inches each and 10 nice sand trout. Probably caught 50 sand trout in all. All fish were caught in 6-7 feet of water. On Saturday I decided to go East RIver in search of Redfish and only managed a few puppy reds. I was fishing with live shrimp. The people who invested the time to catch pinfish did really well around the oyster bars in the mouth of the east river. This is a constant learning process.

I fished the RG Sunday at dawn, before the tide went negative. Caught a double limit of Trout in the hour or so after dawn, before the tide bottomed out. All around 19", all on topwater in less than 3'. Couple Macks at 5-6' on shrimp.
