Econfina Saturday and Today
Posted: April 26th, 2004, 6:56 pm
Couldn't find anyone to fish with on Saturday so I went by myself. Was on the water about 7:30 am and fished west of the river entrance until 2:00 pm. The bite was slow all day but steady. Pick up a fish here and there. Ended up with 9 total trout with 5 keepers between 16 and 19 inches. Early the color was candy corn but after the tide change root beer was the only color I could get a bite on. All under the C/T.
Today I had my dad and friend Scott with me and went back to the same area as Saturday. Was on the water at 7:30 and fished until 2:30. The color today was glow white with a red tail. The bite was slow but steady. Totals for the day 15 trout, 13 between 17 and 24 inches. 1 catfish, 2 blue runners, 1 flounder, 1 30 inch cobia and had 1 trout that would have gone 27 or better get off at the boat. The whole weekend was about the same, the fish never turned it on but most of the fish were great fish and they kept biting enough to keep you going. Great days on the water. My dad had a great time and caugh the biggest trout of his life.
