Econfina 10/2/04
Posted: October 2nd, 2004, 11:11 pm
I'm a bass fisherman that was just introduced to saltwater fishing last year by my brother. Today I was able to introduce one of my friends to saltwater fishing for the first time.
We launched at Econfina around 7:45. The water is still very dingy. Ran out 2-3 miles looking for clearer water. We managed only 2 keeper trout (15-1/2 & 18"). Caught a total of about 8 trout, 3 rock bass (one about 14")and a 2' shark. It was a pretty slow day but we had a great time. Most of the trout came on jigs (various colors - candy corn, glow, chartruese) under CT's. The larger trout (as well as the shark) was caught on a small pin fish rigged under a cork.
My friend had something broke his line after a short drag stripping fight. Still not sure what it was. We also lost several decent trout near the boat.
Water temp was in the low 80's.
