I

donated a few jig yesterday.

You know, you bring the line in, and it just doesn't seem to have any resistance.

And you look at the end of it, and it's got some curly cumano on the end.

And, okay.

That's how you know.

But between the mackerel, the ladyfish, the trout, that was the majority of the day.

And I'll tell you, when we first got out, it was fishing all the way over by – Park Street, a bunch of oyster bars and stuff, and hanging out around there.

What are you seeing out there, Ray, now that waters are warming up? It's got to be getting a little tricky on that artificial lure style fishing you do, huh?

Well, I think the difference between – well, I was finding 80-degree temperatures earlier this week.

Wow.

It's crazy.

Already? Yeah.

And the fishing seemed to be best in between like five and eight feet depths.

Yeah.

But if you were going to go out for trout today, what would you be targeting? That deeper grass flat, that edge?

I'm glad it rained up here in Jacksonville all day today, and man, I loved every drop.

Well, well, I'll tell you, I've, I've gotta think that the salinity levels have been just off the charts for the last month or two.

We just really have had almost no rain.

We're under a drought thing and no watering and all that kind of stuff, and these fish realize it.

I mean, they, they're way more sensitive to it than we are, that's for sure.

It's, it's just like when the water temperature gets hot and the oxygen starts disappearing, they move somewhere else where it's more comfortable.

And, and I gotta think it's the same way with the salinity because a lot of fish that we wouldn't normally find at the mouths of rivers or up in the rivers are way the heck up the river.

Mm-hmm.
