Pulled out of the ramp at about 7:00 am and headed to the birdrack where Ive been fishing lately,wind was calm ,water temp 84 degrees,tossed a live scrimp /CT out the back of the boat and was gonna work a grub on the bottom,before i could get my grub on I had a 16 in trout on,seemed like it was gonna be a good day at that point,unfortunately i didnt get another trout from there after fishing 2+hrs. Headed over towards the creeks around Aucilla to try my luck on a redfish,anchored down off a oyster bar and quickly pulled up a 21 in. redfish, caught a few more puppys, but the 21in. red was the only legal I caught,spanish were schooling bigtime at the mouth of the creek and I caught 7 16-24in. spanish ,those were fun.Tide was headed out so I headed back toward Econfina and tried for some more trout,this time i was straight out the mouth about 2 miles,fishing 4-5 feet of water,worked it hard with grubs and shrimp and caught 3 more trout, the bite was pretty slow all day. Final tally 4 trout 16-18.5 in. 7 spanish 16-24in. 1 21in. redfish.2-3 short trout ,2 puffer fish 8 cats
