4/28 - Saturday, Float Freakin'? And it felt so good. Capt Dave Sipler's Sport Fishing, www.captdaves.com 904-642-9546

#1- too all the people who called me about a Saturday charter and "tire kicked" their way right out of a trip and cheated and cheaped themselves out of a fishing day.....This is what YOU missed!

#2 - If I could find these fish, on a Saturday that was like a "conehead-a-rama" on the river. God help them on a weekday!

Went out to fish by myself on the low tide (the only tide worth fishing anymore) and had 10-Speckled Trout from 18-24 inches. My 5 Trout limit with the one over 20 inches that was a 23 incher, then released 5 more ranging from 19-24 inches. And one baby Gag Grouper, all on one spot, a very good spot. NO PINFISH, NO LADYFISH, NO JACKS, NO BLUES.....NO JUNKFISH AT ALL.

Man, what a great 4 hours!

Although some seriously handicapped weekenders thought by getting closer to me meant that they too could catch QUALITY Trout like this with the tourist-rigs and stink-bait they had, they were sadly mistaken. But they got to watch.

Filleted de-boned and skinned my 5 Trout filled a Gallon Bag.

This is what makes being a FLOAT FREAK worth it!
