| Fished East Bay and Blackwater yesterday. My first time ever fishing the area. We fished Oyster bars and reefs in both shallow and deep locations. Fished some channel structure, marsh drains and mud flats. Fished really hard for several hours to only have a few small trout to show far it. The lack of bait fish and mullet really suprised me. We saw maybe two mulet all day, and they were near the launch. Once we got to the areas we were wanting to focus on it was like a desert. No bait, no mullet, no movement....nothing. All in all a pretty boring day, but there is still alot af area to fish from blackwater back around to Escambia River before the winteris over. *Highlight of the Day* We saw two large Bald Eagles in the top of an old dead tree. Very beautiful and majestic sight. Sorry no pictures, just wasn't anythig worth a picture....

Sorry you guys had a bum day. I've had a few of those lately. If the eagles you saw in the old dead tree is close to the mouth of the East River, I made the same identification, except for my brother-in-law corrected me and told me they are Osprey. I still am not sure which. Better luck next trip...

Yeah BP I had an eye on it all day. Wasn't a real big swing. I didn't get on the water till around 9. My chartplotter was reading a 57 degree surface temp. Seemed alittle low to me. That's when I moved out to deeper water looking.

That's when I moved out to deeper water looking.at 57 Deg....you might as well throw your gulp in the water, twitch once, drink a 1/2 beer, then twich again, have a 1/2 sandwich, twich again and repeat. better yet, stay at home and do the same thing!
