I GUESS ONE DAY I WILL LEARN NOT TO PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THE NOAA MARINE FORECAST. THE FORECAST FOR TODAY WAS 5-10 OUT OF THE S.E. BAYS AND INLETS SMOOTH N A D D A. THE WIND WAS OUT OF THE SOUTH AT ABOUT 20-25 THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE. WE FINALLY GOT INTO OUR SECRET CREEK E OF THE LIGHTHOUSE AT ABOUT 10 AM, JUST ENOUGH TO POLE IN WITH THE KICKKER ALL THE WAY UP. WE FISHED ALL OF THE DEEP HOLES ALMOST BACK TO THE DAM AND NOT ONE STRIKE DID WE GET. DECIDED TO GET BACK ON THE FLATS AND TRY THERE, JUST ABLE TO KICK OUT SINCE THE RISE IN THE WATER LEVEL. FISHED OUT ON THE FLATS IN THE GALE AND THE BOAT WAS TRAVELING FASTER THAN WE COULD REEL IN THE LURES. WE GAVE UP AND HEADED TO THE HILL AT 11:30 MET SOME PEOPLE THAT CAME ALL THE WAY FROM JACKSONVILLE TO GO OFF SHORE BUT THEY HAD TO TURN AROUND AND COME BACK IN WITH SEAS 5-6'.
WATER WAS CLEAR AND CHOPPY TO ROUGH ON THE FLATS, TEMP. WAS 61 DEGREES, DID NOT SEE ANY BAIT FISH AND ON 2-3 MULLET JUMPING UP IN THE CREEK.
HOPE THE REST OF THOSE POOR FOOLS THAT WERE OUT DID BETTER THAN WE DID, THERE WERE 15 TRAILERS IN THE LOT WHEN WE LEFT.
I WIL NOT BE ABLE TO GO FOR THE NEXT 2 WEEKS, MAYBE IT WILL BE GOOD WEATHER BY THEN.

PA (AKA) THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA

That sucks!

Looking at the forecast - and planning on going TH, I was kicking myself all day figuring it was fine out there.....Go figure.

Thanks for the report.

Hang in there. I'll bet you double up on 'em next time to make up for this time

Hey PA, when you come back in two weeks I betcha it will be just right!

Pa, I wish I had known you were coming. It would have been nice to se ya again.

The wind did blow today. Hope ya tare um up in two weeks.

Just blame it on "the winds of March"...... Give it another three weeks and try again...
