4/23/15 St Marks Fishing
Posted: April 29th, 2015, 2:04 pm
Just getting a chance to give this report.
I left the fort at daylight on Thursday 23rd, & went to the east flats. Started near shore past Stoney with a lot of tails showing & the water slick as glass, but I swear they needed glasses to see my topwater. I had several strikes, but everone was a miss. Only one Lady for this area. Worked my way out a little deeper tossing a Gulp jerk, & also under a Thunder. Picked up 16 trout BUT not one was long enough to require a ruler. A couple more ladies, 14 or more big Sail Cats (wore my arm out). Stopped at Long Bar for one more Sail Cat.Back at the hill by 1:30. I had promised the wife fish for supper, but went home with an empty cooler. So we had fish at the restaurant for supper. First time in a long time that happened. But as we all know, a bad day of fishing beats a good day a work.
