Larry Welch and I stuck his Pathfinder on the flat between Pleasure Island and Stewt's several winters back and spent a long cold afternoon getting unstuck, but I have never seen the water as low as it was this past week. We had no intention of even getting out of the ICW, but it was amazing how many anchors we could see scattered across the flat.
We made a short run yesterday evening after most of the water had returned and it was as dirty as expected. We did catch and release two trout in the five pound class and that was encouraging. Both of the better fish were on the ICW side of Pleasure Island in 6 to 8 feet of water. The fish we caught all ate red shad Corky Devils.
I have done worse this time of the year and was especially happy to see some better trout. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
