Took a buddy to Econfina for his birthday Saturday. Fished primarily Hickory Mound area in 4 ft. Brought home 4 keeper trout, all just a little better than 15". Landed 8 or 10 12-13" trout. Was very excited to be catching trout again. Caught 2 very nice rock bass in that depth as well as a bunch of shorts. My buddy likes croaker so we kept 3 of those along with a good eating-size shark and sailcat, (they do eat good as appetizer nuggets). Caught the fish using new penny, glow, and electric chicken Gulps under the popping cork. Managed 1 mullet in the cast net. They are still not podding up but it has to be close. Water temp was 74 all day. The wind blew!
As a side note, my soon-to-be 17 year old daughter used to call the Econfina Inky Dinky when she was little. Miss those days.
You just think you miss Inky Dinky now, but when that 18 year old heads to college, you gonna miss Inky Dinky and a lot of your money too! Don't ask me how I know. Looks like a good time had by all!
