Took a trip out to take advantage of the incoming
tide all day, was expecting to have 10-15mph winds and a chance of thunder
storms but the weather man was apparently pulling an April fool’s joke as it
was less than 5mph winds all day. It was very foggy and misting in the morning
when we launched but eventually turned into sunny blue bird skies. Started
throwing top water and had a few blow ups and eventually hooked up to a little
red. Continued fishing and caught some nice trout. We moved over to an oyster
bar that was just covered by the tide, immediately saw tailing fish, Cast,
hooked up to a nice 31” spotless Redfish. Snapped some pictures and it was safely
released. Moved deeper into the bayou and caught a fair share of reds and
trout. We then cruised home to the wonderful scenery of the Saint Marks
Wildlife refuge and the beautiful spring weather. Until next time, tight lines

Springtime Stoney Bayou Dolphins (St. Marks, FL)
Arrived at St. Marks at sun-up to a incoming tide. Ran immediately to the creeks south of the light house.
Threw top water lures and had a lot of blow ups and eventually landed
some trout. Moved on and Alain caught a large needle fish and snagged a
mullet, which both put on a good fight. Moved into Stoney Bayou and
dolphins came in attacking and surrounding mullet just inches from the
boat. After the dolphins stopped spooking all the fish we ended up
catching some more trout. I gut hooked one 18" and decided to take her
home. The start of spring brought a great day on the water!
