St Marks 6/25
Posted: June 26th, 2005, 9:00 am
Woodburn and I hit the water at the lighthouse at 6:30. The day started off nice with a light wind that made the ride to the west end of the rock garden not to bad.
We started a drift in about 5 ft of water and immediatly started catching fish. Started off catching short trout, a ladyfish and a spanish. Used live shrimp and shrimp tipped jigs under ct's. Jig colors glow and electric chicken. Drifted all they way through 9 ft catching fish at all depths.
Went a little further east and started another drift in about 6 ft when John spotted a bait pod getting pounded by spanish. Threw shrimp under ct and I immediatly hooked up with something nice. Thought it was a big spanish because it was taken line pretty good. Once to the boat I realized what I had, 16 inch gag in 6 ft of water.
Made a run back to the lighthouse and got rid of our shrimp catching short trout in 4 ft. The wind stayed steady all day and it got a little rough but not to bad, I was able to get John wet on the ride home though. We ended up with a mixed bag of fish and a great morning fishing.

spanish 2 in the cooler
grouper 1 ???? on flats 82 defree water
blues 3
ladyfish 1
