Captain Vic and I went fishing to one of his winter locations which can not be disclosed. A promise made to Vic.
We were searching for trout that may be headed in the creeks for a winter hide out. Due to the weather not being very cold, we were doing a search that may not work.
But, after the storm rolled through we headed out.
Vic got it going quickly, and promptly landed a trout on a pearl white grub.
A few short strikes later, we were figuring out that were a few fish in each hole, but they weren't stacked up. So, we started bumping from hole to hole.
One bar yielded a handful of trout. I lost a nice one on the sinking bonk a donk. And Vic had two nice come up and swirl on his grub right at the boat.
I managed to put a nice sheepshead in the boat off one oyster bar. He decided that the shrimp I threw at him was too tempting.
We managed to put four trout in the box.
After the skies cleared and the wind picked up from the north, the fish really shut down. After about two hours of dry casting with no luck, we headed back to the ramp.
Vic cleaned the fish quickly and as we discussed the days bite and decided hunting and gathering was a pretty good deal on the Forgotten Coast of Florida.
