Short report because I am beat. Tin can and myself fished east of the river. Seas flat to less than 1 foot all day.

10 trout--
2-21"
4-19"
4-15-18"

Caught on pinfish under cajun thunder and victimizer corks, and crimson dynamo jigs.

Water very stained inshore, out beyond the tide line was clear. Spotted 3 cobia at the bird rack and tin can hooked up the small one. The two keepers wouldn't hit.

Here are a couple of the pics...

Me and one of the 21 inchers--notice the grass line in the backround...



Tin can with one of the 19's...



Very nice day on the water with no boat traffic.

Nice picures (as usual) Tom,
I thinks its really nice that you are teaching tin can to catch cobia.

That sea looks placid, after the storms, very inviting.

SWEET LOOKING FISH, I JUST NEVER HAVE ANY LUCK CATCHING TROUT MAYBE ONEDAY

[Tom Keels]

No where to fish off the bank. It is over a mile to the gulf from the ramp.

[Tom Keels]

Here is a pic of the whole stringer.



Cran.

I tried to put him on a cobia, and he got one, just not the big one. The other two were nice size.

[Tom Keels]

Same thing on the Aucilla. 2 miles to the gulf. The best places to fish off the beach are at the St. Marks Lighthouse and Wakulla Beach.

ALRIGHTY, BEENTO ST.MARKS A LOT AND TRIED MY LUCK AND CAUGHT A TROUT OFF THE JETTY, AND ME AND MY HUBBIE SEEN A HUGE GATER GOING IN THE WATER. DOWN AT WAKULLA BEACH, ITS A LONG WALK TO THE PART WHERE ALL THE OYSTER BARS ARE, IS THAT THE PLACE TO FISH THERE, OR BY THE BOAT LAUNCH AREA? THANKS FOR ALL THE REPLYS, GOOD JOB ON THE FISHING. WHENS THE FISH FRY?

nice stringer of trout their Tom did you find any reds or cobia seas look real good for the day of fishing.......I bet it was hot out their too how deep was the water you were fishing........I hope to hit the flats sometime this week if the weather holds............

[tin can]

Cranfield, These fishin lessons are costin me a fortune.

We had a very good day. It was calm all day, after a week of terrible weather. Completely slicked off with no wind (found out I'm not supposed to say that word) for about 2 hours during the day. Got a little warm during that time. Fairly pleasant the rest of the day.

Blue Dolphin, average water dept was about 4'. We moved with the tide. The cobia were at Tom's secret honey hole (the middle one ). We didn't catch any reds at all.

Way to go Tom! I'm envious. Can't go for at least two more weeks. It's killing me.
