|
|
| I swear I tried everything and nearly everywhere around Emmords and KRS and couldn't find a keeper to save my life. I'm seriously beginning to doubt my abilities. I need a slammer trip to make me feel better. It was a pleasant day in the boat and ended up traveling out Packery just to say I did. The water was like a lake beyond the jetties. Only caught pup sharks and gaftop out there. A day out in the boat is better than doing anything else, well almost. I really need to find some fish so my wife thinks I know what I'm doing. |

| Only one dink trout for me on a topwater on KRS this morning. Water was TOOOOOOOO clear w/ no wind. Found lots of bait right next to the shoreline, but nothing really chasing it. Oh well...next time. |

I didnt catch to many this weekend either, caught 4 keepers on the edge of C.C. bay early saturday monring, then mid morning caught a couple keeper reds and about 7 that were 19" to 19.5" in deadmans (the furthest north one).
Sunday went to the flats by Pita ended up with 10 keepers, 2 nice reds and 8 trout on croaker.
Our best luck is wadfishing, especially last wknd with no wind drifting wasnt to good so we hopped out of the boat and started catching some. _________________ SHOALWATER EXPRESS |

we didn't find many fish in/around emmords on saturday. all of the fish that we caught were south.... WAY south. gin clear water, no wind doesn't always equal bad things. _________________ 'one does not know what is beneath the surface...' W. C. Prime |

all of the fish heard that ims wasn't fishing and they knew exactly where to hide. with a new boat he will sneak up on them and the slaughter will begin. god help the poor fish. leave a few for the rest of us. _________________ ccbobber |

did well Saturday in Emmords with plastics drifting, until the wind died. You just have to determine where they are on a particular day. Deep, close to ICW or somewhere in between. _________________ CARPE DIEM |

Left the dock Sunday at 5:30. Set up and drifted in front of the windmill then down at the boat house. Caught fish until about 9 or 9:30. Even in the rain at day light.
Bone Super Spook and white 4" gulp shrimp... one thing I did notice is I almost couldnt move the spook fast enough or the gulp slow enough. |

I've been skunked on my two last trips... a couple weeks ago and this past Saturday... it is really starting to hurt my feelings.
My usual haunts are Emmords and KRS... anchoring at some known producing spots.
3 trips ago I did ok drifting in high winds.... maybe I need to stick with drifting.
ANYONE producing on every trip? And if so, can you help a brotha out with some tips? |

Here is a tip....look for the birds on the KRS. around mid morning. After everyone moves out because there isn't a bite.

Yes actually.. Been catching every trip out.. All very close to the JFK. No reason to run 20 miles to find feeesh. I only went once when the water was up and we still got a limit of reds and a couple nice trout.. |
