St Marks

Finaly got a day off and headed down to St Marks to see if I could get me some dinner. Looks like a bowl of cereal will have to do. I put in around 11 am. These tides are pretty messed up. Headed out to an oyster bar off the channel and hit a few short trout right off the bat. It lasted about 10 minutes with no keepers and then it shut off. I moved around quite a bit for a couple more hours and could not buy a bite. I decided to move real slow up and down the channel keeping a close eye on the down imaging. Just looking for any structure that may hold some sea bass. I found a good looking spot that had a bunch of fish on it so I spun around and drifted over the spot bouncing a nuclear chicken gulp of the bottom, It didn't take long and I had a fish. Unfortunately it was a baby grouper and he a bunch of friends with him. Never did get anything to put in the cooler. I have tomorrow off and was thinking of heading to Steinhatchee. Anyone having any luck down that way? Also, I have never been there before so can someone tell me if you get out on a low tide? I was almost thinking of running off shore a bit and hitting a couple of the reefs if its worth while. Thanks
