St. Joe 05/29

[Sea Eagle]

Hit St. Joe on Friday for the first trip of the season. 7-8 all coho. Lost fish was more than likely big king. Got lines in around 8:30 and trolled south down about 3-4 miles working 20’ +/- 5’ but only had two fish to show for 4+ hrs of fishing. One we caught and one we pulled in after snagging someone’s broke off line with a fish still on it. We turned around and trolled all the way back to try the mud line, but all we caught up there was a planer board with a deep diving Rapala still attached. Owners name and phone number was on his planer board, so we called him and will try to get his stuff back to him sometime next week. Pulled lines around 1:00 and ran back down south to where we stopped and continued south and caught 5 fish and lost that nice king in the next 1 1/2 hrs. Thin fins, small spoons and 3.5 Mag Lips all caught fish. Nothing on coho dodger and spin n glow combo. The fish are definitely still south of St. Joe, or at least they were for us on Friday.

Nice - we fished Thursday from 3 PM - 7 PM - and were 1/2 with a small jack king we released - but we fished the mudline from 30-45' - marked some good fish but just couldn't get things going - tight lines!
