Last trip we made the mistake of going up creek at dead low. I knew this spot could get hairy...plus to get to the prime location you go WAY up the creek - approximately 1.5 miles. Well, long story short me and buddy ended up pushing it about 1/3 of the way. At one point we ended up like this at each other:

because we couldn't seem to find a way out of one spot and were thinking we might have to stay there until the tide came in. Not fun. Finally got it pushed across.

We would push for a while until it seemed deep enough, then hop in and run to the next shallow spot and repeat the process.

We did catch some flatties once we got there though. We went 4 for 11 on keeper/throwback ratio.

It was no Macojoe day, that is for sure!
