CHATCHIN TROUT ST MARKS
Posted: April 13th, 2006, 8:50 pm
THE TWO OLD MEN OF THE SEA AND A YOUNGER FISHING FRIEND OF OURS LAUNCHED THE BARGE THIS MORNING 4-13 AT THE LIGHTHOUSE POOL ABOUT 7:30. I GUESS ALL OF US WERE NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT CATCHIN MUCH, IT BEING THE FIRST DAY AFTER THE FULL MOON AND THE 13TH OF THE MONTH TOO. WE EASED OUT OF THE CANAL AND WORKED THE JETTIE AND THE GRASS AT THE MOUTH, NADA. WE THEN WENT OVER TO THE BAR IN FRONT OF THE LIGHTHOUSE AND NOT A STRIKE DID WE GET. OLD CARL SAID , LETS GO WEST YOUNG MAN, AND THAT IS WHAT WE DID. HIT THE WEST FLATS OUT FROM THE WEST #1 MARKER . FISHED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE WE HAD OUR FIRST HOOK-UP, A 15" TROUT, PUT THAT FAT LITTLE BOOGER IN THE COOLER. WE HAD SEVERAL OTHER HOOK-UP JUST A LITTLE SHORT UNTIL ABOUT 10:30. WE WENT OUT TO A LITTLE DEAPER WATER AND STARTED CATCHIN TROUT. THE BITE WAS ON TILL 2:00 P.M. WHEN WE HAD TO LEAVE. ENDED UP CATCHIN A TOTAL OF 32 TROUT WITH 14 KEEPERS, NO BIG TROUT, I THINK THE LARGEST WAS ABOUT 17" AND THE REST BETWEEN 15-17".
WE CAUGHT FISH ON THE TOP WATER PLUGS, BOMBER FLOATER, DEVIL HORSE, D.O.A. UNDER., C.T ,WHITE GRUBS WITH PINK TAIL, CHARTRUES CURLY TAIL GRUBS. A COUPLE OF PLUGS THAT I MAKE TOP WATER. THE WATER WAS VERY CLEAR, COULD SEE DOWN TO ABOUT 5-6', THE WIND WAS PERFECT, AND JUST COULD NOT BE BETTER WEATHER WISE.
LOADED THE BARGE ABOUT 2 AND BACK IN TALLY ABOUT 3. GREAT TIME WITH GREAT FRIENDS, NO TELLING WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE HAD IT BEEN A DARK MOON AND ANY DAY BESIDES THE 13TH.
