Trout Fishing On The Bay!
Wading in the flats and fishing in St. George Sound was as calm and pleasant, a ride as I had in years. Getting out of bed Earlier, my brother in law and let the rest of our family vacation and went a mile from St. George Island State Park, Florida. We had explored the area the day earlier and found that the landing area in the park was not deep enough to safely launch the boat. The island was still digging in the sand due to Hurricane Dennis.
Since I could not put the boat in the water not only took the truck, boat and trailer next to a beautiful shady spot for water and decided Wade. It was a beautiful morning and almost had to wade across the bay to ourselves at 8:00 in the morning. There was only a kayaker paddling around half a mile from us.
The soft murmur of the water around the knees, the morning sun and picturesque of the fog on the water this morning was a wonderful. We have decreased slowly around the oyster bars that seem to exist across the bay. About half a mile away could see a ship moving cautiously through the open waters the bay, being careful not to run aground because the water can change from 4 feet to 0 in a flash!
Before leaving the coast that had worked my fishing vest with a pair of spoons, one gold and one silver. That was the only front that was me. When wading carry a nylon mesh bag to carry my fish if I I'll eat later. I also put my non-Florida resident fishing license in a zip lock bag and put it in one of the many pockets of the vest.
Linking my golden spoon, I cast into the weed in port. I had recovered more than a few feet when something grabbed him and headed across the bay. After a raid a few wild up and down the channel between the two oyster beds where I was standing in waist-deep water, I brought the fish up to me. Went a beautiful trout of two kilos. I went wading and down the coastline and eventually worked my way further into the bay. During this time I caught one trout more and nothing else.
Tired of not seeing another fish, I changed my lure of money. Within a couple of models that had a good size fish in the final my fishing line. This time I felt I had caught a concrete block. I took him to the top of the water. When measured in inches brands I had painted on my rod, which turned out be 22 "long, well within the rules 18-27 inches for a goldfish. I put in my mesh bag that was strapped to my vest fishing and allow you to swim with two trout.
My silver spoon seemed to be the bait of the day to within 10 minutes I had another fish on the line. As I came closer to me I saw it was another redfish, slightly larger than the first. As I had caught my limited the Reds for the day, I threw the bag and replaced it with the largest one I had just caught.
Each fisherman has caught a good size fish is about to see if anyone else had witnessed great achievement. I walked the area around and saw two other fishermen were now standing on a sandbar a few hundred yards me. There was also a kayaker who had seen earlier, closer to me now, paddling around the oyster bars, enjoying the morning. My brother in law seemed not seem very successful because only shook his head in disgust as he showed the beauty that had just caught.
When I went to cast again, I saw the kayaker near me. I was about to get irritated with someone invading my space fishing when the girl who was rowing the boat shouted: "Are you Bob Alexander? "
Now this was scary! In the midst of Apalachicola Bay, about 500 miles from home and someone is looking? Certainly not resembled a debt collector or the IRS. For a moment I thought I must be in the middle of a Twilight Zone episode.
Since the girl paddled closer, she proved to be a mermaid with a gift! As I waved my hand in acknowledgment, rose the zip lock bag that I used to carry and protect my license. It must have fallen from my pocket and left in the wind where the kayaker was floating lady.
We not only have a great morning of fishing, but also had experienced a miracle. You can not ask much more of a sunny morning in June.

Girls Girls Girls (1962) $9.98 Hawaii seems like an afterthought in Elvis’s second island outing.

There’s little use of that lovable dish Stella Stevens, either, who’s relegated to “other woman” duty as Elvis courts bland Laurel Goodwin. Goodwin’s a r… |
