St Marks March 20-21
Posted: March 24th, 2015, 6:36 am
Covered a lot of ground with the good weather and new moon tides Friday and Saturday. Went by myself with a bucket of live shrimp to various places to see what was there. Calm seas allowed a full speed ride everywhere till about 3pm each day when the wind and fog rolled in and chased me back to St Marks.
Friday: 11am to 4pm: OAR2K= one grunt; 24 barge and marker = nothing; Rotary reef = one sheephead. No one out there but me and the FWC who checked everything, but very courteous and professional. I was of course perfectly legal.
Saturday: 8am to 3pm: Began the morning with 2.5 hours in the flats west of the channel = two 14+ inch trout, then went east to Peters Rock area in 10-12 feet of water = six sea bass with lots more throw-backs, 2 small 13-15 inch gags.
All in all a nice excursion, but a wet ride in each day against wind and waves. Happy spring is here. FFF
