Well, we hit the water at 6:15 so we could get out of the river before low,low water at 10. Anyway, we headed over to rock island and worked the area only catching 3 keeper trout before lunch. I estimate maybe 12 or so shorts we caught. Around 11 we went due west to 24 feet of water, found good rocky bottom, but the ONLY life we found was a single sea turtle. No fish anywhere to be found. Trolled and put out pinfish....Nothing. Not even KW grunts would bite.

So, around 2, back over to rock island and a few holes between there and the river entrance, on rising tide. Picked up 2 more keeper trout, along with about 5 shorts, 1 rock bass and a 14" flounder. Water was glassy smooth around 4:30 when we loaded up, came home and fried up our catch. Ahh. nothing like a cold beer and hot fish, grits and fries after a long day.

Then in the old recliner

Hooked

Good report HU....

How's the water over there, clear or stained?

Surprisingly murky for the lack of rain we have had. I guess the storms stirred it all up....

By the way. for those interested, the water temps were around 69 to 70 degrees....

Cold beer and fish right out the grease!

Don't get much better than that. I was think'in of go'in to Icky later this week.

Well DixieReb, you and I should "hook" up. I'm thinking of a late week trip myself. Probably Friday if I can swing it.

Good report

Thanks for the report.
