Econfina Fun! 4/17

I'm tired from a weekend of fishing so I'll keep this short. Launched the "Seminole Classic" at Econfina with my brother and 8 year old nephew about 12:30pm. When we hit the mouth of the river the wind was blowing strong out of the NNE. Started our drift about 1.5 miles past the tripod. In a matter of 4 hours the three of us caught a total of 90 trout. (My nephew counted every one as they were caught.) Of the 90 - 15 were keepers. We also caught a 13.5" flounder and 1 ladyfish. We had a blast. Nearly all were caught on a DOA under CT's.

Our catch, just before cleaning...

Good job GS

Started our drift about 1.5 miles past the tripod.

If you don't mind sharing the information,... what direction from the tripod were you 1.5 miles?

Trout Fisher that comment can get you a one way trip to Icky; and we won't need any bait!

That was a good trip. The wind never did quit blowing while we were there. It was supposed to subside in the afternoon but we left about 1700. I was real proud of the youngun - he takes his own his fish off and re-baits when needed. The only thing we don't trust him doing is measuring the fish - to him there all big enough.
