Went to St. Marks Sunday. We got out there at about 6:30 or 7:00am. It was a bit windy and cool, but it eventually laid down, some. First started out to the west and fished some oyster bars. (I've have yet to catch a Red, dang'it!!! anyone got any tips?) The bars were slow and tide was rushing out. Low tide was at 9:30 or so. We decied to head out to the east flats. We run on around a good bit but stayed this side of all the other boats. I recon they were at the rock garden, right? Im still trying to learn all these names and places. Anyways, we drop anchor at a drap to slow our drift and we fish. I tell ya, for a day that started out slow, it sure picked up for us. We ended up boating 47 trout and 1 Spanish! A lot were short but the most were just under keeper size. 4 were just over. we kept the 4 trout and the Spanish. Mostly we caught them on straight jigs. Some on jigs under CT. Some on Catch 2000's. (personal all time fav) Caught the most on a new buck tail jig I bought at Wal-mart the night before. When I was buying it I was thinking to myself, this thing aint gonna work, funny how that worked out! The last fish of the day was that Spanish on that buck tail. Foul hooked him in the gut! I would have to say that was one of the best fishing trips! They are all great but yesterday was just not stop! The day was beautiful and like I said the wind and chop laid down a good bit. It was just one of them awesome days!

Water: farly dark but could still see bottom at 8 feet or so.
Depth: any where from two feet to 8 feet (caught'em at all depths)

Haven't read any weekend reports yet but hope you guys were able to get out and fetch'em up!

Good job! and nice report!

Good Report Koenig-

I went out there about 2pm Sunday afternoon. We caught 20-30 short trout, and I hooked my first catfish of the season I did not file a report because I have not had time. Water was 72.6, almost 2 degrees warmer than it was on Friday.

Sounds like yall found 'em, Koenig. It sounds like ya were just outside the rock garden if there were a lot of boats inside of where you fished. That area's been good now for 2 weeks. We used to fish doll flys on the flats, looked kinda like your bucktail jig. And we caught fish on them, too. Haven't tried one in years , but sounds like I need to!

Great report

Good job.

I think we were to the west of the rock garden, but then again, I don't know where the rock garden is. Where is it? Can you see it, is there some sort of land mark to look for?
