At the point I wrapped a crab trap and had to jump in 3ft of water I was 4ft deep. As for the trout, I'm not sure what they do. The salinity stays pretty high until the snow melt but the trout are usually no where to be found. I'm convinced that some never leave but i know that the majority dissapear around the middle of december. Water usually gets really dirty with the fronts, even the reefs shut down. They may all go to the SW pass and wait for the spring

That sumbeech is like quicksand! See my above post, but redneck engineering came into play. You may laugh now but it worked like a charm. It is hard to push a boat off a mud flat if you are constantly pulliing yourself out also. So I took my anchor rope and tied a 5 gallon bucket to the handle and threw it in the direction I wanted to go and then pulled on the rope. Took a little while, but it worked. MacGuyver stuff
