High Tide
Water: Low seventies
I heard there were some nice reds 6 miles east of the light house. Not knowing that water that well except for some scallop trips, Nancy and I set out for some exploring.
We saw a manatee as we left the river and passed a huge sailboat. So, as usual, it would be an interesting day.
We took the Nan to the rocks and started fishing the shallow waters that exist in that area. The water was very clear, but all we could spot were rays, puffer fish and mullet.
We entered Deep Creek later in the morning and figured out that it is aptly named. The creek had 6 and 8 foot hole at the mouth.
We started catching trout right away.
They were hitting grubs on the bottom and Nancy also caught one on a spoon.
We caught 4 18" trout, 4 pup reds and 4 flounder.
We also observed two gators as they watched us catch fish while they sunbathed.
While we never got into the big reds, we found another beautiful stretch of the Forgotten Coast.
