St Marks 3-17

A friend & I fished some yesterday morning after launching from the fort.
I felt the tide needed time to start coming in, so we fished for some bass first. He picked up a couple & I landed 5 & missed two others. Most were kind of small but still fun. So after an 1 1/2 hours it was time for a change.
We moved to the bars inside the mouth & i picked up a 15+ trout on the 3rd cast & thought here we go!
Well that was it for the next 2 hours. On our 5th bar he had a nice trout lip off at the boat (maybe 18), & I landed a 16" spanish & 16+ red.
I am thinking the flats must be holding the fish, but after the cold snap I hoped they were inside the mouth, besides I do love fishing around the bars & the conditions were perfect. I guess the fish thought differently.
Where have you guys been finding them?
