It was a one here, one there, kind of day out of Crystal River and Pat and Laura Lou worked hard and finished strong. I picked the couple up today at their home on the Crystal River and with the tides as they were, it was going to be a trout day. A long outgoing tide was our conditions for the charter and the trout bite was very sporadic. Working the kelp grass beds, oyster bars, pot holes etc... all produced fish, but I coiuldn't get a pattern to form to stay on a consistent bite. The tide really dropped out and for the end of our charter, we had some good success on some deeper spotty bottom in 5ft to 7ft of water. It's going to be a little tough for the next couple of days being what the tides are, but later in the week should pick back up. I thank you both for a fun day and congratulations on a fine catch...
