Get out around 10 am. Kinda Windy and the water temp was 54-60. Tried the the bars-no bites. Go to the creek mouths-no bites. Few boats out. Head up a creek and fish there a while and nothing. On the way out of the creek we see a boater (With a GA on his boat) at the creek mouth, and we are like "Any Luck"? He is like "yeah limited out on trout and 3 keeper Redfish".
We ask him what bait? And he is like "Cotton Cordelle Rattilin Redfin" we are like "Oh the same lure we have been using all morning?"
Are the fish like "That guy has a GA on his boat, lets bite his lures"
This isn't the first time. Since getting my boat last year, I have noticed that Georgia guys are the boats to pull up by and fish by cause they catch fish. Is this some conspiracy or what?
Hopefully by the end of the month it should be on fire. The water warmed up almost 10 degrees while out there. If you want to see me I will be by the boats with GA on them.....
One time on the Aucilla area creeks, we were catching Trout but the bite was slow. A guy from GA pulled up and was like "I limited out on trout and threw em back and limited out again".
Reminds me of a song. I limit out before I limit out, and then I limit out some more..........
Well, I don't know about all that. Me and the father-in-law limited out on Saturday (we're both from FL). Could've caught fish all day had we not been anxious to get home for dinner. Had three boats try to steal our spot while we were catching. 1 from FL, and 2 from GA. Oh, and BTW, of the 10 trout we caught, 9 were on Cotton Cordell Redfins.

you have to get called a dirty word "Georgia boat", preferably by a Florida native. Then the rule applies.
Glad ya'll are seeing GA boats on the water. Usually they are sideways in a ramp or parked in front of it blocking others; rarely do I see them in the water.
JUST KIDDING, but I couldn't resist.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

I'm a Florida native whose family goes back to 1827 being Florida natives. All I can say is most of those Georgia folks are friendly and real good fishermen. You can count on them talking to you in ways understandable and interesting. I like em!

My family dates back into the 1700's in Georgia. There is a branch that comes from Florida ... Creek Indians who inhabited the Chattahoochee River from its head waters to where it meets the Gulf. Having said that, we old Georgian and old Floridians need to stick together or surely the yankee hoard will over run us all!
