FISHED THE POINTS TOWARD ST. MARKS CAUGHT TONS OF PUPPY REDS. I FINALLY GET TO A POINT THAT HAS A FEW TROUT AND THEN A SCHOOL OF PUPPY REDS RAN THEM OUT. I WAS ABLE TO FIND SOME KEEPER REDS ALL THE WAY BACK IN A SMALL CREEK. THE LURER OF SHOSE WAS THE SPINNERBAIT AND CATCH 2000. TALLY: 4 TROUT, 15 OR SO PUPPY REDS, 2 KEEPER REDS. I DID KEEP ONLY ONE RED.

AT THE LANDING A COUPLE OF GUYS SAID THAT THE WERE FISHING IN THE RIVER WITH A SMALL WHITE MR. TWISTER AND CAUGHT A GOLD COLOR FISH THAT LOOKED LIKE A RED BUT DID NOT HAVE A SPOT. THEY SAID THAT THEY CAUGHT A BUNCH OF THESE THINGS THAT WERE BETWEEN 10 AND 13 INCHES. ANY IDEAS WHAT THESE WERE?

They are also in the econfina, i'd say some kind of perch !

MAYBE A WHITING?

whitings are usally more white than gold.

white or sand trout.....white belly and goldish coloration with no spots

my best guess

Probably what they call silver perch, or yella mouth, Bairdiella chrysura.
