Econfina 5/1/15 clip

Post by RHTFISH »

More footage captured with the GoPro....had to edit out a few minutes as I was caught in an open mic moment! :o

Cool and breezy early and progressively windy during the day and little love from the fishes. Water started at 69.5 and rose to 75 by mid afternoon. We wound up with some flounder with one caught on both cork rigs at once. A few sea bass and one keeper trout was hardly enough to stink the YETI. :-D We fished from the Rock Garden to the #1 rack.

The water appeared somewhat clearer behind Cobbs Rocks than anywhere else but little cover on the bottom.
Other places it seemed at times there was more visibility but not to the point of actually seeing the bottom.
One of my neighbors told me Sat night he fished straight out from river and found some spots where he could see the bottom fairly well. He and his wife had caught numerous shorts.

The rock garden is starting to clear up. I'm hoping for a good scalloping season.
