Hi Joey.... that was worth the trip.  I'm headed to the Choctaw in the morning but not sure for bream or mullet. Will check the radar before I leave to see what weather is looking like.

Got down to Cowford and headed upriver. First stop, my trolling motor would not steer correctly and it was running backward.  Recently I hit a steel water depth gauge at Comanders Landng which is in the wrong place. Trolling motor head housing was busted. Replaced it which required unhooking wiring. To make a long story short yesrerdy I found the polarity was hooked up backward was the reason the motor ran backward. Anyway, the trip was cut short due to these difficulties and a rain storm came up.  The river is rather dirty and up a little but there were maybe a half dozen rigs in the parking lot when we got there at 3PM.

Thanks Clint, I'm headed down that way this afternoon. Had planned on Simplers but may hit the Cowford ramp.  There is a bass tournament there tomorrow so the river will be full of race boats.

Clint.....WEwa area might be good. On the Choctaw it's sort of hit and miss for really good catches but folks are still doing pretty good on bream. Bass is rather poor.  Mullet improving. Got 17 nice big blacks on Tuesday.

Have a few days off this weekend, might try a little fly fishin in the dead lakes, havent heard of any reports from over there, last trip was a bust. I have had good luck also on the trips this year on the choctawhatchee, havent tried any tightlining this year but with that report i might better

Just picked this report up from PFF

My cousin, dad, and uncle just got back from two days over on Choctawhatchee, brought 1000 earthworms and 1000 red worms and spent two nights on a sandbar, final count, 286 bream, dad said out every ten bream, three or four them were at least 1/2 lb shellcrackers, all bream caught on the bottom tightlining. They limited out on the first day by 2:00, cleaned fish that evening, second day they fished until 3 pm before they had to get everything together and head back, bream is on fire over there right now!! Bonus they did get 29 channel cats plus two sheepshead, very productive trip for them.

t picked this up a few minutes ago from the Pensacola Fishing Forum:

That was a good cartch Clint. Yes, it sure is good to get a few to make a trip worthwhile as well as getting enought to have a good fish fry.

I went on Wed after the Monday we limited out. Got 2. Was with a bass guy and you can't fish bass and bream at the same time worth a flip. You move too fast to let a cricket soak a while. Then went the following Friday afternoon to Comanders near Red Bay and got only 5.  I think the bite may be better down around Ebro and below. I think it's slowed but still good from all reports. Will give it a shot this Wednesday and see.
