Well, not much to report. Water's hot and stained, and the fish seem to be on holiday. Managed a few nice reds on Friday at St. Marks around the oyster bars, including a 22 incher with no spots. Fishing the deep water for trout was tough with a solid wind. The wind/waves were better on Sunday at Spring Creek, but the luck wasn't much different. Like Tin Can wrote about his time Saturday at St. Marks, I saw the spanish crashing bait and got over there and immediately hooked up on ladyfish after ladyfish after ladyfish, then bluefish after bluefish . . . . It was fun, but no spannies or trout for the grill. My buddy did catch a really nice (24") spanish free-lining a live finger mullet mid-way between S. Creek and Mashes yesterday.
Not a lot of catchin, but two beautiful days on the water and I'm not complaining.
