Yeah it's hard to figure what to do after you catch your limit and about a dozen more in 2 hour sit at the red fish hole we found in the Aucilla. We couldn't buy a trout on the 40 minute troll out there, nor on the way back. So we're off to clean fish and we'll look for some trout tomorrow in the Saint Marks…
We caught all reds on freelined shrimp off an oyster bar that was blocking the incoming tide. A couple more factors in that equation I haven't figured out quite right yet… ?
The warm, spring fed Aucilla river is known for its winter reds, but I didn't notice the temperature of the water today. It's been running about 67 or 68 in the Saint Marks system, so only a couple more degrees needed to start off the big spring fishing season…
