Water temp. 67 degrees
Headed out into the murky waters at the mouth of the Ochlockonee River.
Ran into a guide and he said that it is the worst he has ever seen it in his years of guiding.
The fog was heavy and kept coming in and out and didn't burn off until around 11 AM.
I started at some of my holes that were close to the ramp as I left my GPS at the house, so I was fishing blind as you couldn't see 100 feet in front of the boat.
I fished a large circle with nothing to show for my efforts.
Finally I ended up at the horseshoe bar hoping for some late magic.
There was a heavy incoming tide and I was fishing the back side of the bar with nothing to show for my efforts.
Said to myself, self, I wonder if they are on the front side.
Slid around there and the flurry of action began.
I ended up with a nice limit of speckled trout in about 20 minutes. Four came to the boat that were in the 18 inch range.
And my over 20" fish was this nice 22" speck that but up a heck of a battle in the swift water.
As you can see, all of the fish came on a gold red fin. That lure was taken on my last cast by a blasted Spanish Mackerel. I know that folks love catching the macs, but I hate when they arrive, because I lose a lot of jerk baits to them. But, bass pro shops is happy because I ordered 3 more this morning.
