This afternoon I decided to fish in spite of
the NE wind, cool temps and much higher tide than I usually try. As I
got into St. Augustine and the wadable section of the ditch that I frequent, I saw the fog hanging along the coast too. But I
was there and was gonna give it try. The NE wind was quartering in my
face at 12-20 mph from left to right which, for a right hander, isn't
all that bad. It WAS only 55* though, as was the water, and mighty
chilly overall. The fish did not notice as over the next 2 hours I
caught and released 14 very healthy trout from 14"-16.5" on chartreuse and white Clouser deep minnows. Then I
couldn't solidly hook a fish...I missed 8 or 9 hits and takes in a row
and then a couple dolphins decided to occupy my space and the catching
was over! Still, quite a treat.
