St. Marks 6/19/05
Posted: June 19th, 2005, 9:38 pm
Best morning I've had at St. Marks in quite a while. A buddy and I launched from the lighthouse about 6:30 this morning. Headed east of the LH and drifted some 1.5' water in front of Big Cove. Caught 6 keeper trout by 9:00a.m. The largest was 23.5". Managed to lose another 3 keepers and released an armload of short trout. Caught all the trout on a topdog jr. and a Tsunami stick bait.
Headed back West when the topwater bite slowed. Eased up into the Wakulla Beach area looking for reds. Just about to give up on the reds when we managed to catch 3 in quick succession. All were caught on a redfish magic spinnerbait. The largest was 23.5".
Left WB and drifted along the east side of Live Oak pt. Managed to pick up another red and a few more short trout.
Drifted the deep flats south of Pattys Island until 1:30 with little success. Decided to head back to the LH and then Jerry's for a hot cuban.
Can't wait til next time.
