St Croix Report 7-29-11

Hit the St Croix Friday with Bob and John.  I thought the flows seemed great but looking at the clarity it was murky.  Fish were not on top water as they were earlier, most likely to due to the conditions.  We did manage a few fish including the 18 inch beauty by Bob.

You really had to get the lures right in front of the fish.  We went larger and if you hit the bank there were fish.  The catch of the day though was a turtle.  Bob put the size 9 Shallow Shad Rap right on a grassy bank and a soft shell turtle bit it.  I wouldn't have believed if I didn't see it for myself.  See the pics
