Ran out with my eyes closed,
when you have ran her enough you can do that 
. It was slick as glass, I was thinking if Tom was there he'd say let's run on to 40 foot ....Went to our east redfish hole...And started out the day with 3 trout and three reds in short order. Only one keeper trout and redfish, but the skunk was off
....Worked in and out of the grass line, we were coming up on our last point and I threw up to the grass line and wham, big trout....I play him a minute or two...The net man decides his rod is too important to lay down...You know where this is going....Net misses, three treble hooks in the outside of the net and a 20 plus trout
and pops lifts the net 
...Another perfect hands free release...I thought I was gonna be sick, but I probably would of let her swim anyways....By this time it is getting hot and it's only 8:30 or so... Our plan was to fish in 9-10 foot out from the double hump trees....In close the water was stained, it looked like coke....I figured the same for anything west of the river....Well it is gin clear outside the mouth of the river to half way to Aucilla and Hickory Mound and the grass is beautiful, it was almost scary, it hasn't been like that in years....
It basically got hotter and the fish came to an almost stand still...we caught a few trout in 5-6 foot clear water, but the majority of them came in the stained water to the east. We ended the day with 6 trout to 19", one redfish 24" and a spanish. Caught the reds on the "Secret Weapon" and straight jigs, trout came on shiner tails, live shiners, flukes, slap stiks and straight jigs....We both hooked into gars 30" plus, which was fun for awhile and a few poor mans tarpon....
Not great numbers, but another great day on the might Econfina with my dad...
If I were going tomorrow I would fish within two miles of the hill, if not on the hill....
On a side note we saw a flyer in JRs about proposals for a bombing range at Hickory Mound, not good, I don't have any information, but the residents at Econfina have signs up protesting it....We should look into..I will see if I can gather more information
Rocket, I saw your boat at Mish Fastersons house this afternoon, sweet
. We were able to boat one trout. I went in my boat last Sunday, and boated 13 Reds and two Trout, so I figured we would surely catch some fish.
