High Tide
Water: 64 deg.
Air: 70's
We decided to try out of Lanark. The idea was to catch a trout or two for the freezer out of the cut at the FSU marine lab.
We eased into the cut with nothing to show for the run. The water was extremely clear and beautiful.
A bald eagle was perched to the south side of the cut watching us invade his fishing hole.
As I moved the boat slowly over the edge at the end of the cut, the fish finder lit up showing fish stacked up on the ledge.
I moved out and anchored and we threw some large shrimp on the bottom and under a popping cork up to the ledge.
Nancy soon hooked up and we were excited that we were going to put some trout in the boat. We were very surprised when a bluefish was discovered to be the biting culprit.
Nancy put five or six more in the boat and I managed one while fishing on the bottom.
We decided to leave and try and find some trout.
That effort was to no avail, as the flats did not have any life to them except for acres of waterfowl.
It was another nice day on the pond, but the freezer is getting low.
