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 theslot is 15-20" on trout in Fl. you can keep 1 fish over the20"slot out of your 5fish. Then it is catch and release on 20+" trout
