St Marks - Nov 7

I just typed this all out and when I go to post I have to log in again and the text has to be re-typed! Maybe I should type in Word then cut and paste to topic? This happens to me frequently - but that's another post :evil:

So here's an abbreviated version of first attempt.

Left LH at 9:45 am Sunday. Beautiful day - not as cold as expected. Went east past Grey Mare. My friend's first cast - 17" keeper trout - that was encouraging. They were fishing with live shrimp under a CT - I used a DOA under a CT.

This may sound like a "reel fish tail" but I can count on two hands the number of times I reeled in without a trout on. After I landed the 3+pounder and fish after fish, my friend, who was only occassionally catching fish, switched to a DOA. I thought it was interesting that a DOA out fished live shrimp so badly.

After TWO hours we had our limit and had thrown back countless shorts and even a half dozen or so keepers in the 15 1/2" range. Never cranked the boat after first stopping and neither did the other 6 or so boats I saw. When someone moved - it was to leave. Water still wasn't clear.

I'd look at the calm water and wishfully think about the offshore folks. Talked to a fellow back at the landing who showed me his two nice gags caught about 5 miles out trolling.

Looks like the bite may finally be on - hope the weather holds also.

Mojo,

Here is how to find Gray Mare ROCK from someone who doesn't have a GPS! Go east out of river along stake line to second big stake. Turn towards shore and maybe half way between stake and shore in the general area look for a LARGE rock out of the water (depending on tide of course). It's the only large rock out of the water that I've ever seen straight in from 2nd stake.

Hope this helps.
