Put in about 3 hours after that crazy low tide. Fished out to the point, went across fished back down the channel for a good 2 hours. Looked pretty dead for the most part. Didn't get a bite on gulps and live fiddler crabs. Tide is really moving in about 2:30, I cross back over and work the other way down the shoreline towards the town of Panacea. I start to see a couple of swirls and pull back a bitten in two gulp. Re-bait and throw at a swirl and I get a short red. I keep drifting towards the end of that piece of land where it curls back towards bottoms road. The current splits off away from the point there and makes a little eddy. Had a bite and missed, then had a 17" trout inhale my jig literally right under the boat. Things went back to dead after that. Not great but not bad either. I'm hearing reports that the fish are moving into the rivers now, so I may try somewhere like that later. That or take a flat hoe to the Ocklocknee bridge and try for sheepshead :)
Also, I've lost about 50 pounds since any of yall have seen me :)

Looking good, DKWakulla! And what a terrific report! Love all the details that you put in. Those winter low tides on the full moon can suck the water right out of the bay .

Great report DK! That whole area around Bottoms Road can be productive. Nice trout you got there! Thanks for the report. Good luck at Ochlockonee Bay. I took out a flat hoe once but I never tried sheeps head.
