Fishing today ....(Thur)

Took Terry (belongs to Ginny) out today to explore some different water.
Was pretty foggy all morning, GPS got us out to the middle of the lake,
then it went out again = we were lost in the fog, picked up a few, nothing
special, then used Terry's phone GPS app, to get around, really didn't do very
good out there, decided to try the river, we did catch three pretty good sized shad
about 14-15 inches long, so, for you shad guys, they're here ........
We did about as good in the river as out in the lake, then decided to take a trip
into the "River of Beauty" (that's what I call it), and still nothing great, BUT,
It was indeed a darn good day out. I think we ended up with 11 mediums.
It's gonna get better as the spawn comes on strong .......
It was great Terry = we'll do it again ! ! !
Here's a few pics from up the river..............

I know it was nice to be on the water...Glad you guys had fun:cheers2

Love that boat! Sry to hear about the electronics. I wanted to be out in the fog today, I'm sure it was nice out there.

Great pics east coast goober:biggrin

Phantom, went for shad Monday didn't get any,but couldn't keep the dang specks off the shad rigs.......dang dumb specks..............

Danny, thank you so much for taken Terry out again!! He had a great time and he said the river was really beautiful and that I would love it. He also said you both were good at Jigging.

Your boat is the coolest! But I sort of have a thing for boats... Lol. Looking forward to when I get to go with you guys again.

Thanks again,
Ginny

Looks like a "River of Beauty" to me. Great Pictures...

To be honest, the river is the Econ (Econlockhatchee) and you enter it from the St John's where there is no trees, then as you follow it into the treeline,
it just keeps getting more beautiful the further you go = here's some pics of it way on up in there, this is why I call it the "River of Beauty" ...........

I got to make a trip to the Econ!! Every pic I see of it is outstanding. Them guys on the Gheenoe forum post some great trips in there. Thanks fer sharing Danny.

The scenery is definitely beautiful. I think Talquin Maggie and I may ride down the Johns River a ways before we leave on Sunday. The place we are supposed to be staying at is right on the St Johns.

Does the water flow in there as fast as the Wekiva?

Nice report and good pics.... Glad y'all had a good day.

Mike, depends on water level, etc, etc (runoff all the way from the Beeline) (google earth it).
Right now it's barely flowing, is going to be great come spawn, hope it doesn't get any lower........
There's some crappie in there now, but should get even better as spawn kicks in ......

Tim, I think anywhere along the St John's is beautiful, especially away from houses and structures, etc, etc.......

Thats what I was thinkin along with a dang scenic bream hole fer summer.

This place is like Talquin a bit = stumps and submerged trees everywhere = be very careful runnin in there.
And when the water gets real low = it gets real shallow = motor will be draggin bottom = trim up, etc, etc, etc....

Beautiful pic's and nice report, looking forward to meeting some of you next week.

Know right where you's were," The ECON", the river beautiful, now you need to take him to GOD'S country, "DEEP CREEK". Too bad on the fishin, like you said approaching fronts=less fish, at least the rain held off.
Nice post Danny!

Thanks for the visit Danny. The untouched beauty is one of the things I miss most. Lots of Eagles when I used to go to the St.Johns and it's tributaries.

Beautiful pics danny. I wamna go tooooo please please please
