Sounds like a good day.  I like fishing the flats off of Eglin but haven't been there in a couple of years, how is the grass this year?  I have been fishing around white point, mostly, the last couple of years and the grass has only been patchy at best.  I used to fish the Eglin flats often and had good luck most of the time.  A buddy of mine even caught a cobia there while trout fishing, only about 25" long but still neat to get on 10lb line and a pinfish under a cork.  Perhaps I'll see you out there one day, I will be the guy in the smallest boat you've seen all day!   You're right about the fog too,  couldn't see anything for a land mark,  I was just hoping not to get run over!

Allen the slot is 15-20" on trout in Fl. you can keep 1 fish over the 20" slot out of your 5 fish.  Then it is catch and release on 20+" trout

Fished Eglin grass flats the last two mornings before work.  Specifically the mud/grass flats near Postal Point.  Very nice specks both days.  24/26in.  along with some smaller ones and a few reds.  Great way to start the day.  All of them were released to enjoy another day.  Pics are on the phone and I'll do my best to get those out one day.  They were caught on cajun thunder, 3ft of fluoro, and a soft plastic shrimp.  Also, caught some of the reds on a gold spoon. 

Good luck,

tw

Pale,

 Most of the reds were under the slot.  I think one might have made it.  I only measured the specks since they were two of my better trout.  They were caught between 0530-0630.

Nice fish!  Are ya'll talking about fishing near Eglin in the bay or in the sound?  Would someone mind explaining where the "Eglin Grassflats" and "Postal Point" are?  Thanks!

Nice report, good job on the release of the bigger fish..... more than likely it also was a large female full of eggs....

The biggest a male trout will get to be is about 4 to 5 lbs, while most of the larger fish (above 25 inches or so) are usually females.......

FYI----Trout in our area will be full of eggs and spawn throughtout the months of April, May and into the first weeks of June on the grassflats .....

The February closing is due to the large congregations of fish that stack up in canals, rivers and creeks all over Northwest Florida, not to spawning activity. It protects the fish from being wiped out, being caught day after day in the same area.

Places like the Gulf Power discharge on Escambia River, Yellow River, Blackwater River, Burnt Mill Creek in West Bay , the ICW in Choctawhatchee Bay, the Gulf County canal, and the St. Marks River all hold large numbers of trout in the winter months....easy pickings..

Tight lines.
